11	* {{Adorkable}}: Saena's younger self. Intent on proving herself valuable at work, while being sweet and naive in personal relations. When her boyfriend dropped by to bring her some supper, Saena freaked out because she was wearing a worn-out, sloppy sweatsuit.
12	%%* BaseBreakingCharacter: Definitely Sho. Most fans hate him, seeing how he only has [[https://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/skip-beat/images/9/99/Skip_Beat_Chapter_100.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20141019052930 699 votes]] compared to Ren and Kyoko who have more than 2600. But there are still fans who like him, mostly as they think he could be an okay character if he became nicer and became Kyoko's friend. It also helps that he is portrayed much more likeable in the live-action, causing the fans to like him more than in the anime or manga. Plus, he actually mellowed out a bit in later volumes, even helping Kyoko out sometimes or support her when [[spoiler: her mother denies her very existence]], making it a bit easier to like him.
13	* FoeYayShipping: Kyoko and Sho have a fair amount of this when they're reunited post-breakup, most obviously while filming the music video. The way they argue somehow makes Mimori jealous and makes the people there think that they are LikeAnOldMarriedCouple. The fact that they are childhood friends and know everything about the other only helps. Also some between Sho and Reino. Kyoko even accuses Reino of having a "Sho fetish."
14	* FridgeBrilliance: When Kyoko worries that Ren will cut all ties with her in Karuizawa[[note]]After Reino attacked her, Sho saved her, and she tried to keep this a secret from Ren[[/note]], it seems a little too far-fetched. Until you realize that that's how she's used to being treated by those she cares about. Her mother abandoned her when she was a little girl, Fuwa Sho dropped her without a second thought after she spent years devoted to him, even Corn left without giving her a way to keep in touch (although in his case it was because he was ten years old and had to go home).
15	* HilariousInHindsight: Just the fact that Skip Beat! is a ''Japanese'' manga that got adapted into a ''Taiwanese'' drama, and the two main actors for Shou and Ren are members of Music/SuperJunior, a popular boyband from '''Korea'''. What?
16	* IdiotBall: As of chapter 270, Ren and Kyoko are tossing it back and forth in order to keep from figuring out the other's feelings.
17	** Ren should be able to figure out that [[spoiler: Kyoko was in no frame of mind for romance the night that Sho kissed her, and that if she'd wanted to kiss him, then she wouldn't have come and cried into "Corn's" chest instead.]] Additionally, Ren knows that, as the Love Me Section's #1 Member, Kyoko is not the type of girl to be able to show affection openly and that, historically, any mention of Sho has made her rabid because of how much a hold he has on her heart. So, [[spoiler: seeing Kyoko casually joking around with Sho should not read like the two got back together]] to anyone with common sense.
18	** Meanwhile, Kyoko knows that [[spoiler: Ren likes a high school girl, and that the girl claiming to be involved with him has a history of lying and a very good reason to want to mess with Kyoko.]] She also knows that [[spoiler: Ren has kissed her on the cheek and given her a flower ring like the ones his father used to give his mother, and that Ren doesn't feel that he has the right to be happy or in a relationship with someone he cares about]]. And that's not even touching all the similarities between Corn and Ren or the times she's conflated the two of them by accident.
19	* [[HoYay Les Yay]]: Kyoko and Moko, ''constantly.''
20	** When Kyoko and Maria see Moko feeding her “boyfriend” a French fry:
21	--->Maria: [[ClingyJealousGirl I want to do that]] to [[TallDarkAndHandsome Ren]]!
22	--->Kyoko: I want Moko to do that to me!
23	** Kyoko was incredibly... ''devoted'' to Ruriko. Kyouko even mentions at one point that she was almost able to feel ''love'' again during her time with Ruriko.
24	** In Sho's PV, Kyoko has to act out an angel who has a lot of this with another angel. She perfoms a brilliant act that actually enraptures the other angel's actor, who dislikes her. How did she find the inspiration for this? By inserting Moko into the other angel's role in her mind.
25	** During the party arc, Moko immediately goes to look for her present for Kyoko, in response to Ren's gift [[spoiler:upon learning it was her birthday]]. All of her expressions, thoughts and mannerisms wouldn't be out of place on a [[ClingyJealousGirl jealous girlfriend]]. The fact that she would usually not show affection pubicly, yet grins in triumph at Ren when Kyouko is speechless about Moko's gift is just the cherry on top.
26	* {{Narm}}: The character name of BJ in ''Tragic Marker''. BJ is actually an abbreviation of Black Jack, a nickname the FBI gave the serial killer Darrel because his number in their list is 21, but those letters, to an English audience, can mean something [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything vastly different]].
27	* TheScrappy: Saena Mogami isn't well-liked. She was unpleasant to most readers because she was an AbusiveParent to Kyoko and dropped her off at the ryokan, practically abandoning her. And when she finally appeared in-person, she states on TV that [[IHaveNoSon she has no child]]. When Kyoko talked with Saena [[spoiler:and her past was revealed, with Saena being blinded by love and making a mistake that had harrowing consequences on her and her boss' career]], some readers felt this didn't justify her attitude towards her daughter. Even with Saena basically admitting that her treatment of Kyoko was bad and that she knows herself that she's a horrible parent, sympathy is not often thrown her way.
28	* ShipsThatPassInTheNight: Kanae and Yashiro is surprisingly popular, likely because fans like the idea of the two main leads' best friends hooking up. All this, despite the fact that the two characters have never interacted in the manga.
