• John Cusack was initially considered for the role of the main character.
• The film went down in history as the first to be released simultaneously in three digital formats: DVD, HD-DVD, and Blu-ray.
• Kate lives at 1620 Racine. The same house was home to Sean Connery's character in 'The Untouchables' (1987).
• The film's working title for a long time was 'Il Mare'. In the film, this Italian word meaning 'sea' is used for the name of the restaurant where Alex arranges a meeting with Kate two years later. It is also the title of the original Korean film.
• Bullock's character watches the same film twice – "The Bad and the Beautiful" (1946).
• In the film, Alex tells his brother: “You wouldn’t even be able to swim, there’s no staircase to the water… You’re here like in a box, in an aquarium where you can see everything around, but you can’t touch it.” However, other shots clearly show that a staircase to the water actually exists.
• When Kate looks through photos from two years prior, she says to the dog: “Do you remember that day? You weren’t in a good mood.” In reality, the dog was with Alex during that period.
• During the heroes’ chance encounter in 2004, Alex and Kate dance to Paul McCartney’s “This Never Happened Before,” which is essentially an anachronism: McCartney recorded the song only in 2005.
• Filming took place from March 14 to May 29, 2005.
• When Kate looks through photos from two years prior, she says to the dog: "Do you remember that day? You weren’t in a good mood." In reality, the dog was with Alex at that time.
• During the heroes' chance encounter in 2004, Alex and Kate dance to Paul McCartney's "This Never Happened Before," which is essentially an anachronism: the song was not recorded by McCartney until 2005.
