* {{Adorkable}}: Jun Pyo. He is still childish and naïve compared with the rest of the F4.
--> '''Yi Jung''' (listening to him flirt with Jan Di): "Seriously, I'm embarrassed to be around this guy."

** Although Jan Di and Jun Pyo were considered the main couple of the series (and it got official at the finale), people in this adaptation often rooted for Ji Hoo ''over'' Jun Pyo for Jan Di, because compared to Rui (his counterpart) in the original manga, Ji Hoo showed much more care towards Jan Di earlier into the series than how it took to Rui to realize he cared for Tsukushi (Jan Di's original counterpart).

In a case of HilariousInHindsight, the reaction towards Jan Di/Ji Hoo eventually matched the endgame opinions of Rui/Tsukushi.

Added DiffLines:

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Exactly how much did Min Ji care for Jan Di, if at all? She sets up the entire frame-up of making it look as if Jan Di cheated on Jun Pyo, insults her when talking to Jun Pyo, and refuses to apologize when she's confronted--all this deriving from her jealousy and rage over Jun Pyo rejecting her as children but falling for Jan Di. At the same time, she did meet Jan Di ''before'' Jan Di even met Jun Pyo, they got along well, and she seems legitimately sympathetic to her bullying. Most notably is her look of stricken guilt when she finds out about the students' plan of attack on Jan Di in response to ''Min Ji's'' frame-up.

Added DiffLines:

* HarsherInHindsight: Ji Hoo is the kindest member of F4, a group mostly consisting of bullies, from the very beginning. This has even caused a large percentage of the fandom to prefer him over Jun Pyo ''because'' of his kindness, and no doubt a lot of people began admiring his actor Kim Hyun Joong thanks to the role. And then Kim Hyun Joong was revealed to have committed domestic violence. To make matters worse, he was cleared despite being guilty.

* TheWoobie: Ji Hoo. He gets his hopes dashed so many times you just want to hug him.
** So Yi Jung. [[spoiler: [[AbusiveParents Habitually suicidal mother]]]], [[AbusiveParents inattentive father]], and a brother who deserted him to deal with all the family issues on his own, ''and'' without the only person he ever relied on as a child. No one can resist his tears--no one.
* HollywoodHomely - Fat? I REALLY don't think you need to worry about that.

** A great segment of the fandom of the Korean drama, ''actually'' prefer Yi Jung and Ga Eul over the main couple of the same series. There's even much more fanfiction written about them than the two main leads!
* HollywoodHomely: Jan Di considered herself sometimes to be "fat"... compared to the other girls of the cast and their culture standards, though...
