** There were initially scenes of the doctors watching video recordings of Su-mi and putting both a psychological and supernatural diagnosis on her condition. The director realized that [[ViewersAreMorons naming or explaining the diagnosis]] would ruin the ambiguous charm of the movie.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: There was originally going to be a subplot involving poison, which [[spoiler:the girls' mother]] drank before hanging herself. Su-mi was to take some of the poison and use it to contaminate Eun-ju's medication. Kim-jee Woon realised that this could have become problematic as [[spoiler:that would mean Su-mi was poisoning her ''own'' medication]], so it was dropped, and Su-mi's own [[spoiler:desire to die manifested itself in a different way]] in the finished product.
