The film, from director Kim Tae-yong (Memento Mori), follows those using the tech service and how it affects their lives. Walked away from Wonderland feeling some kinda way and looking to chase the feeling? Read on for more moving sci-fi shows from South Korea to check out.
My Holo Love
The science fiction romance series My Holo Love follows Ha So-yeon, a woman whose face blindness, or prosopagnosia, leads her to shy away from socializing.

From director Lee Sang-yeop (Yumi’s Cells) and writer Ryu Yong-jae (Parasyte: The Grey), the series stars Yoon Hyun-min (Tunnel), Ko Sung-hee (While You Were Sleeping), and Choi Yeo-jin (Miss Monte-Cristo).
