Revealing mistake: When Fujiwara is about to have sex with Hideko, there is a shot with Hideko in the foreground of the shot, kneeling on her hands and knees and Fujiwara behind her kneeling down on his knees whilst holding onto her with his left arm. Fujiwara is shown removing his trousers using only his right hand, but it is apparent that he is just miming the actions of removing his trousers before throwing them on the floor. Attempting to remove a pair of trousers with only one hand would be extremely difficult and if he is kneeling on the floor, it would require him to lower the trousers down to his knees, lift his knees off the ground, pull the trousers around the knees and then fully pull them off his lower legs. While not impossible, this would be very hard to do, but he manages to do this in just a few seconds with almost little to no struggle. (02:02:53)

Continuity mistake: When Sook-Hee is saying goodbye to her friends, just as Kutan starts saying "It should have been me", Gugai is shown holding two babies, one with short hair on his left and one with thick hair on his right. The camera changes angles and the babies have suddenly switched places. The babies also become raised up towards his shoulder in between shots. (00:02:53)
Sook-Hee: I need to remind myself that I want to be rich and then travel somewhere far, eat foreign foods, buy bright shiny things and, most importantly... forget about Hideko.
