1. The plot that makes you think
Based on the synopsis, the story of contacting people in the past seems a bit cliché. However, the film is very packed with unexpected plot-twists and can make the audience uncomfortable sitting while watching.
2. A great cast of actors
The combination of Shin-Hye and Jeon Jong-Seo plays an important role in this story. If you have been less interested in Park Shin-Hye’s acting, we suggest you watch this movie because it may change your opinion.
However, praise should be given to Jong-Seo. His character as Young-sook in this movie can definitely make you not sleep at night. Although the story is based on telephone communication, the character of Young-sook in this film is very lively making the audience want to stay focused.
3. Interesting concept
We are quite familiar with movies and dramas with time travel and time-lapse genres. But not all the films or dramas managed to attract attention. In contrast to this film which shows life in the future and the past that runs in real-time.
4. Song selection
