‘In a world where memories can be eternal, what would you choose to remember?’

Plot Summary

A Glimpse into 'Yonder'

In the 2030’s, shortly after assisted suicide becomes legal in Korea, a man helps his wife to die with dignity at her request.  When he receives a mysterious message from his deceased wife shortly after her death, inviting him to a place called Yonder, he assumes it is some sick mistake. 

But when he meets others who visit Yonder, he discovers an alternate world  created by a famous “doctor”,  that exists from the memories of loved ones we have lost.  And as questions about the ethicality of Yonder surface in the media, he will be forced to make a choice about what defines life and what he is willing to give up to be with his wife again.  

Final Thoughts

'Yonder': A Journey Beyond

‘Yonder’ is a slow, thought-provoking drama that delves into the complexities of life, death, and what lies beyond. At 6 short episodes, it feels more like an extended movie than a full drama of developed characters.  But the concept is fresh and I found myself thinking about it long after I had finished the drama itself.  The cinematography is sweeping and beautiful.  I give ‘Yonder’ a 7 out of 10 ramen.
