Ending credits leave you with questions...

Such a unique story, wonderful acting, so many twists that you are kept guessing till the end. CGI was pretty nice as well.

If you want a happy ending, DO NOT watch those end credits...

You will love this film until the ending destroys it

Watch it! You will love the genius and original storyline. But wait until the ending breaks the whole film. I mean, come on ...! The ending is an important element in the storyline of the entire film where the film is finally finished, before the screen turns off. It is not permissible for an ending to be forced in such a way as to fool and override logic. The audience is not as stupid as they think. Oh yeah, also the concept of timeline is so linear.

Fantastic as long as you switch off when the credits roll

There's a few added scenes during the credits which SHOULD NOT be there, please trust me and switch off when they roll.

If you do, you will have a cracking movie that will have you glued to the set til the end.

Too many alternate realities

This is a very interesting movie that'll keep your mind busy thinking what's gonna happen next until the very end. It has successfully made time travelling and multiverse concept more interesting. However.... The story of the movie creates too many possible timeline that is at some point confusing and the cliffhanger ending is a mess which will leave you more confused if you're looking for a logical conclusion.

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.

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
When the villain, Young-Sook, kills off the father of Seo-Yeon, the latter screams in terror as she sees how he fades away from her life. Yet earlier, when Young-Sook kills the strawberry farmer Sung-Ho, who at the time was having lunch with the parents of Seo-Yeon, they would have been alarmed and cried out in surprise as well, yet that did not happen.
