This drama provides examples of:

• Casting Gag: In a previous life, Yeo Ok and Soo Nam lived during the Japanese occupation of Korea in the 1930s. Shin Hyun Joon (who plays Soo Nam) also plays one of the title characters in Gaksital, set in the 1930s.
• Fate Drives Us Together: In this drama, Fate is embodied as an old man, who is furious that Soo Nam and Yeo Ok keep failing at Reincarnation Romance.

• Reincarnation Romance: Subverted. Na Yeo Ok and Go Soo Nam were, in their previous lives, a Japanese woman and a Korean man, who fell in love during the Japanese occupation of Korea in the 1930s. (That relationship doesn't end well.) The subversion of this trope comes from the fact that they're the reasons their relationships keep failing; however, they're still tied together by that red string.

• Shout-Out: Soo Nam has Victoria's name saved in his phone as Vic. However, phonetically in Korean, "Vic" (빅) is spelled the same as "Big" (another body-swap comedy).
