Intriguing Concept and Plot
Directed by Kim Tae Yong and featuring a collaboration of top actors from the region such as Tang Wei, Suzy, Park Bo Gum, Jung Yu-mi, and Choi Woo Shik, Wonderland takes viewers into a simulated universe where people can reunite with their departed loved ones using the “Wonderland” video call service.

Offering a glimpse into a visually stunning world, the trailer hints at the core themes of Wonderland: the yearning to reconnect with loved ones, the pain of facing a sad reality, and the desperate need to protect family. With poignant parallel storylines — a mother hiding her death from her daughter and a woman reaching out to her boyfriend in space — the film asks: Is it possible to find closure and happiness by reconnecting with the likeness of those we’ve lost?
Behind the Stars
The all-star cast brings this deeply emotional narrative to life, with Tang Wei and Park Bo Gum delivering heartfelt performances that explore the depths of human emotion and loss. Suzy and Choi Woo Shik add further depth with their portrayals of individuals grappling with their own grief and desires. Jung Yu-mi’s role ties the ensemble together, creating a richly woven tapestry of interconnected stories.
Kim Tae Yong’s direction masterfully balances the film’s high-concept premise with its emotional core, crafting a narrative that is as visually impressive as it is thought-provoking. The use of advanced visual effects to create the “Wonderland” universe serves as a striking backdrop to the deeply human stories unfolding within it.
