* MistakenForCrazy: Her InnerMonologue takes the form of her father showing up in strange places. Sometimes she responds to him out loud. Everyone else is very confused to see her apparently having a conversation with herself.

* AnAxeToGrind: He tries to kill Dong-sik with an axe.
* AxeCrazy: As a child he was willing to murder his half-brother. He just gets worse from then on.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: A male example. He pretends to be kind and friendly to hide his true nature. Best shown when Dong-sik phones him and In-woo pretends to be sympathetic while laughing at Dong-sik.
* DestinationDefenestration [=/=] DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler: He accidentally defenestrates himself when his fight with Dong-sik leads to him crashing into an already-cracked window. He survives thanks to a passing garbage truck.]]
* EvilGloating: Indulges in this when he taunts the nearly-comatose Detective Shim.
* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: He doesn't look dangerous and -- when other people are around -- he acts normal. He's also a psychopath who enjoys killing people.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Gets hit with it twice.
** He tries to kill Dong-sik and Bo-kyung, leading to Bo-kyung trying to shoot him and hitting the window instead. [[spoiler: Then In-woo crashes into the window, falls through it, and ends up in a vegetative state.]]
** When he wakes up he tries to kill Dong-sik again. [[spoiler: He walks right into the trap Dong-sik and Bo-kyung set for him, gets arrested, and ends up in prison.]]

* NeverSuicide: His modus operandi is to make his murders look like suicide.
* {{Patricide}}: [[spoiler: He shoots his father.]]
* SerialKiller: He kills at least eight people before and during the series.
* SharpDressedMan: Is rarely seen wearing anything but a suit, even when threatening and killing people.
* SiblingMurder: Attempts this by proxy when he tries to make Dong-sik murder Ji-hoon. [[spoiler: He fails because Dong-shik only pretends to kill Ji-hoon.]]
* SiblingRivalry: With Ji-hoon. It goes all the way back to their childhood, as shown in the flashback where In-woo tries to smother Ji-hoon.
* SlasherSmile: Has a truly terrifying grin.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: As a child he planned to kill Ji-hoon because Ji-hoon had taken In-woo's room.
* VillainousCrush: Possibly has one on either (or both) Dong-sik or Bo-kyung. He's very interested in Dong-sik, and he strokes Bo-kyung's face while saying he has feelings for her. But then he's also willing to kill both of them, so it's up for debate if he's sincere.
* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: His reaction to Dong-sik spectacularly failing to kill Mu-seok.
