* BedTrick: The former King used the Alchemy of Souls to swap bodies with Jang Gang with the goal of impregnating Gang's wife Do-hwa. She was unaware that her husband had swapped bodies and was seemingly never told the truth, and with Gang leaving so soon after Uk's birth it led to many believing that she had been unfaithful.

* SpoiledBrat: Jin Cho-yeon is very used to getting her way, and tends to pout and sulk when she doesn’t. Cases in point are trying to force Jang Uk to marry her and blaming Mu-deok for breaking the Yin-Yang Jade (which she accidentally broke herself).

* MeaninglessVillainVictory: Go Won is more of an antagonist than a villain, and Seo Yul certainly isn't a villain; but Seo Yul defeating Jang Uk in the 10th and final fight of his bet with Go Won is still treated this way. While Go Won won his bet, none of the things involved were remotely as important as the fact that Jang Uk reached Chisu.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: You'd expect that the hero mastering a new stage, reaching chisu, and learning several new techniques would allow him to win the climactic tenth duel with Seo Yul that these things were leading up to (and the bet that led to all this)... but Seo Yul had reached Chisu ''long'' before Jang Uk, had far more combat experience, and was the strongest mage of his generation in Songrim. Jang Uk's advances keep it from being a total curbstomp battle, but once the fight gets serious Jang Uk is still defeated extremely quickly.

* GreenEyedMonster: Played with; the Crown Prince is clearly jealous of Jang Uk, and it motivates some of his actions later on, but he doesn't allow it to reach the point where they become ''intractable'' enemies. He even lampshades this to some of Jang Uk's less scrupulous rivals when he catches them spreading rumors, pointing out that it's foolish to allow your jealousy to draw you into making enemies out of talented and powerful people.
