The show aired on Disney Channel Asia and was given an English dub. Said English dub has also been uploaded on the official Hello Jadoo YouTube channel, and can be viewed for free along with many episodes in its original dub.
A character sheet is in the works. Feel free to pitch in if you can!
Provides examples of:
- The Alcoholic: Jadoo's dad, which doesn't sit well with his overbearing, hardworking wife.
- Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Jadoo's dad, who she finds difficult to have a serious conversation with. To her credit, Jadoo's mom agrees with this.
- Animesque: Considering that it's Korean anyway.
- Art Evolution: Season 2 had more color, backgrounds and shadows but doesn't change much in character design, except the change from Four-Fingered Hands to regular five fingered ones.
- Attractiveness Isolation: Discussed. In "The Popularity Vote", Eunhui tries to convince herself and Jadoo that they didn't get first place because the boys think they are out of their league, and that they chose Minji over them as a safer option. The boys clarify that they voted for Minji because she's kind, while Eunhui and Jadoo are both mean.
- Big "SHUT UP!": In "Arcade Game Addiction", when Jadoo's two younger siblings are fighting over a coin, she shouts "BE QUIET! TAKE IT OUTSIDE!"
- Broke Episode: An episode when Jadoo's dad apparently quit his job and her mother worries over how it would affect them. Turns out that he's just too ashamed to go to work after making a drunken fool of himself in front of the boss, so his wife punishes him for it.
- A Boy, a Girl, and a Baby Family: A variation where, in this case, the boy is also the baby, so there's Jadoo, her younger sister Mimi, and her baby brother Seunggi.
- Corporal Punishment:
- Played for Laughs. Jadoo's mom will not hesitate in physically disciplining her children (though it happens off-screen).
- Her grandmother is arguably worse, making her work all day and, if she messes up, would get severely punished, which was revealed in the end was at the insistence of Jadoo's mom, confusing Jadoo as to why her grandmother is suddenly so strict.
- Cranial Eruption: Whenever Jadoo's mom would hit her on the head other than it's the most common injury.
- Dead All Along: In one episode, a janitor working at the school in a Saturday night escorted Jadoo and her friends outside after retrieving Minji's notebook. On the day they get to school and ask the ordinary janitor where the old janitor was so they could thank him, he simply answered that he's the only janitor there and no one works at the school on the weekends. It ends with the kids completely petrified.
- Deus ex Machina: Quite literally, going by the trope name's translation "machine of the gods"; in the episode "Reunification", once her parents' arguing about their sides of the house starts to get out of hand, Jadoo prays to God to resolve the conflict, and the prayer is answered with a rain storm that washes away the line dividing the sides.
- Faceless Masses: Crowds are prone to being drawn as greyish purple featureless blobs when they're on-screen.
- "Freaky Friday" Flip: In one episode, Jadoo and Minji switch bodies after spinning too quickly on a roundabout whilst wishing that they could have an older brother and younger siblings respectively.
- Henpecked Husband: Jadoo's dad. Justified since despite being supposed to be the main supporter of his family with his job, he comes home late, drunk.
- Generic Cuteness: Jadoo is often mentioned to be dark-skinned and even a bit "ugly" despite the fact that her skin is no shades darker than any of the other girls in the series. This is more possibly to do with her boisterous personality.
- Grass is Greener: "I Wish I Had An Older Brother", where Jadoo wishes exactly that after seeing how much Minji's brothers adore her, and in turn, Minji wishes to have younger siblings. A "Freaky Friday" Flip ensues, only to be disappointed that the other's life is tougher than it looks.
- Idiot Hair: Jadoo has a curly one on her head, and her siblings, dad, and rival Eunhui have one as well.
- I Was Quite a Looker: Jadoo's parents. In a flashback when their grandmother was telling the first time they met, are shown to be rather good-looking youths. Jadoo's dad especially, even if a little lecherous.
- Like Mother, Like Daughter: Jadoo not only looks like her mom as a kid, but she also inherited her stubbornness, resulting in the two often butting heads with each other.
- Slasher Smile: In one episode in season 1 and a episode in season 2, Jadoo and her family for some reason take on this expression when they become ravenous due to extreme hunger.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Jadoo's mom. She is often portrayed as a cheapskate and very demanding but she is very helpful to those who are in need and seems to not expect anything in return. Jadoo is baffled with this odd personality in a specific episode.
- Kids Are Cruel: Jadoo's bullies (who are also her friends especially Doldol, the fat kid). Oh, and Jadoo herself. Whenever a kid is at their worst, presently.
- Protagonist Title: The series title mentions the main character, Jadoo.
- Setting Update: The original manhwa was set somewhere between the year 1978-1980. The animation is apparently set in a more modern time since a computer (though not an advanced looking model) can be seen in the opening.
- Spoiled Brat: Jadoo. Though her family is constantly reminded that they don't have enough money for most stuff, she somehow tends to have endless cash that she could use to buy from street vendors.
- Super-Deformed: The characters have short limbs and large heads and eyes that make their designs very cutesy-looking.
- This Is My Side: In "Reunification", a feud between Jadoo's parents reaches the point where a line is painted through the house, dividing it into sides for each parent to stay in. This impedes their daily lives since the bathroom is on the mother's side and the kitchen is on the father's side.
- Tomboy and Girly Girl: Jadoo and Minji respectively.
- Two-Teacher School: Every subject in Jadoo's school seems to be taught by the same homeroom teacher.
- Voices Are Not Mental: In the episode where Jadoo and Minji switch bodies, they retain the voices of whoever's body they're in.
- Whole Costume Reference: Jadoo's latest outfit which consists of a white blouse and red pinafore dress is reminiscent of the title character from Chibi Maruko-chan.
