Storyline

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.

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.

Good movie with confused ending

Nicely crafted thriller, keeps on the edge throughout the show. I watched twice to clearly understood the plot. If blink an eye, you will be like me watching again. Acting was fantastic... screen play and direction super. I didn't like the ending, I thought missed the logic. But that doesn't undermine the effort wee bit. Classy run.
