What's left behind the scenes
- While working on the role of Yon-suk, Jeong Jeong-so was inspired by the stage image of singer Billie Eilish.
- The original title of the film translates to 'The Call'.
- Filming took place from January 3rd to April 2nd, 2019.
- Yon-suk (Jeong Jeong-so) from 1999 says she is 28 years old and was born in 1972. She should be 27, but this is not a mistake, as it is customary in Korea to add one year to a person's age – it is believed that a child is born already one year old.
- A theatrical release of the film was initially planned in South Korea, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the release was postponed, and as a result, the film was sold to Netflix.
