    • Trivia
      In 1999, Young-sook says she is 28 and was born in 1972. This is due to the unique age-calculating-system used in Korea. When a Korean baby is born, they already one years old.
    • Goofs
      The post credits scene reveals old Young-sook had called her younger self to warn her she might die, however, she couldn't make the call from the future if she had died in the past. If young Young-sook did survive, then the mother wouldn't blink away from existence, she wouldn't exist to begin with, and old Young-sook wouldn't have disappeared when she tried to kill adult Seo-yeon.

    Park Shin-hye is fantastic...
    You have to buy into the absurd concept of a phone call traveling through time... and there are literally dozens of logical leaps your sane mind will have to make... but if you accept the premise, this Korean thriller generates serious chills. Park Shin-hye is fantastic and pulls together all the loose ends with a superb central performance.
