Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Seo-yeon, 28, takes the train to the South Korean countryside to visit her hospitalized mom. Having lost her smartphone on the train, she finds a phone in her mom's house. She finds a hidden basement and Young-sook's 20 year old/Nov.1999 diary when she, too, was 28. Her shaman stepmom believes her stepdaughter will become a serial killer if let out and is very cruel to her. The two 28 y.o. women start talking together on the same phone in the same house but separated by 20 years. Can Seo-yeon's dad, who died then, be saved? Can history be changed? Should it?

Did You Know?
| 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. See more » |
| 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.
