- TriviaItalian censorship visa # 99509 delivered on 15 December 2005.
- GoofsThe colour of the shoes in the modern day moments of the film are a purplish pink, however during the moments where it was presumably the Japanese occupation of Korea at that time, the shoes are a reddish pink, perhaps due to the fact that the shoes have been worn for a very long period of time.

Sun-jae: [Angry] Mommy loves Tae-soo very much... But mommy really hates when Tae-soo lies.
Tae-su: [Crying] It's not a lie! Daddy really came! He said he's too cold and to take him out!
Sun-jae: [Angry] Don't lie to me!... I told you that daddy couldn't come here. How can he? I told you he can't come here, so how could he? How can he?... Why did you lie? Why did you lie?
Tae-su: [Crying] Mommy. Mommy.
Sun-jae: [Sun-jae realizes what she had done to her daughter and hugs her]
[Crying]
Sun-jae: Tae-soo. Tae-soo... Tae-soo, I'm sorry. Mommy was wrong... Tae-soo. Tae-soo... Tae-soo, mommy was wrong. I was wrong. Mommy was wrong...

- Crazy creditsAfter Taesoo, who is covered in thick makeup and wears a black top and white tutu while dancing and looking at her reflection in the mirror, part of the beginning of the credits show. However before they get past the second actor in the cast list, the screen shakes and the text turns red as if there is a technical problem, before it reverts to a scene of people walking in the park. The pink shoes can be seen again in the park, and a girl with roller blades leans down to pick them up. After her hand covers the camera, the credits roll normally.

Besides the footage quality, you immediately feel involved in the movie's action and suspense by the way the several camera angles are shot and each image is carefully chosen. Adding the great and creeping soundtrack you have a great combination for a horrifying atmosphere.
To go with a nice technical setup you will encounter an original plot surrounding a single mother, her daughter and a pair of pink shoes. I rather not tell anything else about the plot for as it grows it becomes very interesting and appealing and it would be a shame to ruin any surprises. All I can say is that they all perform very well! (including the shoes)
However there is just one subject I'm not pleased with, a few suspense and horror parts are too typical. I mean, the woman in a white gown looking down with her big black hair over her face is getting a little bit too annoying.
