%%* ManipulativeBastard: Well, Manipulative Bitch: Jae-Gyoung full stop.
%%* MissingMom: There are suggestions in the story that Jin-Ho is estranged or separated from his mother, a possible cause for some of his behavior.

%%* CreepyCoolCrosses

* AccidentalPervert: Jin-Ho.
* AllJustADream: Hae-Young Na tends to have vivid erotic dreams that she thinks would be real except for her waking up.

* ClingyJealousGirl: Ami Eun again.
* ChristmasCake: Hae-Young Na and Ji-Sun Myung.
* CreepyCoolCrosses
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Myung Jin-Ho all the way. On a glance he seems a fairly harmless, though a bit hotheaded fellow, but if you push him far enough... he gets downright terrifying.

* DisappearedDad: Hae-Young Na's dad, who previously before the story begins ran off with another woman.
* DoesNotLikeMen: Ami Eun.
** Makes sense, as Jin-Ho Myung used to be a gangster who had no respect for women.

* EternalProhibition: Yes, they sneak drinks sometimes.
* FanService: All the chapter introductions.
* ForcefulKiss: Ami Eun tries to gives one of these to her teacher, Hae-Young.
** So does Jin-Ho, though Hae-Young is more receptive.
** Carrie gives one to Jin-Ho in front of Hae-Yong.
* GenreShift: When the brawls start, you might think this has become a martial arts story.

* GroinAttack: Discussing eroticism in films led to this.
* GirlishPigtails: Ji-Soo Ha (complete with the [[{{Tsundere}} usual personality]]).
* HadakaApron: Caroline sports one on the cover page of chapter 46.
* HaremGenre: All but one of the main female characters actually go for Jin-Ho Myung.
* TeacherStudentRomance: Hae-Young Na and Carrie, too.
* TeacherStudentRomance: Jin-Ho Myung AND Ami Eun.
** Back in the day, the now Chairman for Hae-Young Na's mom.
* HotTeacher: Hae-Young and Caroline.
** [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded a lot]] and invoked to the point where the chairman and most of the schoolgirls are complaining.
* HypocriticalHumor
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: It uses the word "Touch" in place of "Chapter".
* IgnoreTheFanservice: Jin-Ho Myung managed it barely during [[FanNickname The Braless Arc]].
* {{Joshikousei}}
* LikesOlderWomen: Ami Eun and Jin-Ho, both seem to have a thing for older women.
* LoveDodecahedron: [[http://www.mangatoshokan.com/read/Unbalancex2/A-Team/73/2 A chart a later chapter]].
* MaleGaze
* ManipulativeBastard: Well, Manipulative Bitch: Jae-Gyoung full stop.
* MissingMom: There are suggestions in the story that Jin-Ho is estranged or separated from his mother, a possible cause for some of his behavior.
* MostCommonSuperPower
* PantyShot: A lot.
* ParentalIssues: Seemingly every character.
* ParentalSubstitute: Ji-Sun, Jin-Ho's aunt although she acts more like an older sister to him.
* ProductPlacement: VISIT SEOUL!
* PsychoLesbian: Ami Eun is a mild example.
* SayItWithHearts: Carrie.
* SmokingIsCool: Hee-Chul Hyung.
* ThanksForTheMammary
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Between Hae-Young and Caroline.
* TheTease: Caroline towards Jin-Ho and in chapter 50 Jin-Ho turns the tables on her with a result that could only be described as his Crowning Moment Of Awesome.

* TranquilFury: Jin-Ho goes into one when he fights Yang Hee-Chul. And it's damn scary.
* UnlimitedWardrobe: Hae-Young Na.
* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: Ha Ji-Soo.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: Copious amounts between Jin-Ho and Na Hae-Young in later chapters.
* ValuesDissonance: Made a bit clear in the fan translation of the manga, parents beating their children (albeit adult) until they're bruised and bleeding? Fine. Teachers disciplining their students? Fine. Women of "age" (post 24) having relationships with barely legals (18) definitely not. The TeacherStudentRomance thing still seems frowned upon, so there's that though, Korea.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Ami Eun
* WillTheyOrWontThey
* WorldOfBuxom

* SchoolgirlLesbians: Ami Eun.

* HotForStudent: Hae-Young Na and Carrie, too.
* HotForTeacher: Jin-Ho Myung AND Ami Eun.
