The can of cat food changes from one that requires a can opener to one with a ring-pull.

The white t-shirt under Lucy's sweater when she leaves Peter's room in the ICU.

In Peter's apartment by his answering machine, the photo in the frame changes appearance and position.

The position of Lucy's hands while she and Jack are slipping on the ice.

When Jack and Lucy parked at Peter's apartment to deliver the couch, the van is parked much closer to the red car in front before they deliver the couch than when they come back down.

During the belated Christmas dinner, Mary begins the evening with a white t-shirt under her sweater and at the end of the evening, she is no longer wearing the white t-shirt.

When Lucy arrives at the hospital directly after the accident, her hair is wavy-curly in one shot, and noticeably straighter in the next.

When Lucy and Jack are slipping on the ice, the "ice" bends.

Also, you can see the knee pads underneath Jack's jeans.

When Lucy visits Peter in ICU during the night, he is still in a coma.

But his head changes position.

In one shot, it is slightly to the side.

In the next shot, his face is aimed straight up.

As Lucy is pulling Jack up from the ice, Lucy's scarf is on her neck.

The next shot shows the scarf in her right hand.

The scarf then returned to her neck in the following shot.

The train horn used right before Lucy pushes Peter off the track isn't a horn sound used by the CTA.

While Lucy is feeding Peter's cat, the cat food can switches to her other hand when she pushes the door open and hits Jack.

When Jack and Lucy go to Peter's apartment to deliver furniture, the chair Jack made is strapped to the side of the truck when he opens the truck door.

However, when Lucy steps up into the truck and sits in the chair to "test rock" it, it rocks freely and there is no strap.

Lucy is in her apartment taking down the Christmas tree and Joe Jr.

knocks on the door.

When she goes to answer the door she walks past the globe on the shelf and it is illuminated.

When she invites Joe Jr.

in and they walk past the globe, it is no longer on.

At the end of the movie, after Lucy has told the family she's been lying to them, she leaves the church and the camera pans back to the family.

Before Lucy left, Jack was gazing at her from the front of the church.

After she leaves, he is gone, not standing next to his brother as he had been moments before.

At the end of the movie when Jack gives Lucy the ring, she puts it on her thumb.

In the next shot, when she is kissing him, it has jumped to her first finger.

When Peter is in hospital in ICU, he is wearing nasal prongs delivering oxygen.

He is breathing on his own.

The sound track has the sound of a mechanical ventilator.

When Saul and Ox are playing cards in the hospital, the cards on the bed change position between scenes When Mary and Beth are standing outside the booth talking to Lucy inside, there is a man waiting behind them.

After Lucy lets them through the turnstile, the man has changed into a woman.

When Jack enters his parents' house for the first time, the inside door has no curtain.

When Lucy is leaving the next morning, it has a curtain.

There are three scenes filmed in the ticket booth - two without bars on the window (in the beginning of the movie, when Lucy is looking dreamily at Peter and in the last scene when Jack proposes to Lucy) and one scene with bars on the window (when Mary and Beth come to visit Lucy) Saul asks the nurse if there is a pharmacy in the hospital, to get Elsie some Nitro for her heart.

Hospital pharmacies are usually only for in-patients, so visitor's can't get so much as an Ibuprofen from them.

Also, if the hospital did have a pharmacy for out-patients, Saul could not just go down and get Nitro, he'd need to have Elsie's prescription with him.

When Jack and Lucy are walking by the riverfront and Jack tells Lucy she needs a better coat, they are close to the kissing couple by the light post.

As the camera zooms in closer their position changes further back on the sidewalk.

They reach the kissing couple for the second time about 30 seconds later.

During the movie, the camera pans by the stocking the Callaghans make for Lucy, one time, her name is written in WHITE puffy paint; the next time, it is written in BLACK puffy paint.

In the scene when Lucy tells Jerry that she likes Jack, the leaves on the trees behind them are all green, even though it is just a few days after Christmas.

When Peter tells Ashley he's engaged to Lucy, she asks, "Lucy who?" Peter replies that he doesn't remember; he has amnesia.

But only minutes later, Peter says to Lucy, "Lucy Eleanor Moderatz, will you marry me?" When Peter is "pushed" onto the tracks, you can briefly see the mat he falls onto.

When the grandmother is taking pictures at the wedding in the hospital, she is pointing the camera at the floor when it flashes - the flash cube is pointed at the people she wants to take pictures of.

After Jack's truck is blocked in, he and Lucy both have to walk home from Peter's apartment.

But we know from earlier that Peter's car is parked at his apartment and Lucy has the keys.

They could have used Peter's car to get home.

When the Callahans are in Mass, the priest prays for the sick, including Peter.

Then everyone sits down, the priest says some more things and the people say 'Amen.

' In the Catholic Mass, people don't sit down at that part until the priest has finished the prayers and the people have said 'Amen.

' Also, one of the old ladies says Mass was better when it was in Latin and people couldn't understand it.

Not truepeople had Latin-English Missals and could follow quite easily.

When Jack and Lucy are slipping on the ice, you can see the knee pads underneath Jack's jeans.

While on the tracks Lucy tells Peter that the train coming toward them is an express, then the train comes to a stop.

However, the train sounds its horn as it approaches Peter & Lucy on the tracks, indicating that they are seen by the driver.

Even though the two are not hit, the near miss would have required the driver to stop the train.

Near the beginning of the movie Lucy orders "the usual" from the hot dog cart vendor.

He asks her what it is and she tells him "mustard and a coke".

She gets a hot dog but never gets the coke.

While Jack is playing cards with Peter in his hospital room, and Peter is still in a coma, Peter's left hand resting on the bed tray visibly moves.

The monitor in the ICU shows Peter's blood pressure to be 29/11, not sustainable for life and his heart rate is 80, too high for a coma.

The line showing his heart rate is also flat which is what happens when the heart stops beating.

In the scene at the party where Jack tries to stop Lucy from drinking spiked punch, she puts her hair behind her ear at the start of the talk about the punch, but in the cuts that follow, it alternates between being behind her ear, and covering her ear.

I could not describe this drama better than the words 'heartwarming'.The storyline itself is actually simple and cliche, but it's fun and addicting.

I adore this movie, it's easily one of my favourites. Another reviewer said that the best time to watch it is in the winter, and whilst I'm happy to watch it any time of the year, I would agree that it seems all the more magical when it's freezing cold outside, and you're snuggled under a blanket.

Another superb show from Lee Jung Sok. Lee is a promising excellent actor and has a knack for choosing good projects.

Some good thing make this show worth a watch. The premise of the dreams actually is quite involving and plausible.

This is my 8th Korean drama and I have to say it was the best! It keeps you hooked from the 1st episode till the last one.

This show is the perfect mix of comedy, romance and suspense/thriller. I laughed, I cried (almost, though it's hard to make me cry) and I shivered.

That this is the best romantic comedy movie... of all time!

I like Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman and pretty much all of the members of the cast. It was especially nice to see Jack Warden and Glynis Johns again.

I had a big smile on my face when I got to the end of the series. Besides the scenario was separate i like it.
