* Supportingprotagonist: While the story is told by Jumi, the plot is basically driven by the boys and their relationship.

!!The Tropes associated with the series

*TheAce: Everyone looks up to Yoo Won. He is a leader, he’s handsome, he’s smart, he’s popular. He is repeating a year, but people are still all over him. Not everyone can see, though, that he’s a real [[BrokenAce mess inside]].
--> '''Hee Bum''': "Even though I hate people that are stuck in popularity, I also think that not everyone can be like you."

*{{Adorkable}}: He may be awkward, rude and kind of a nerd, but Hee Bum is still very cute.

*BettyAndVeronica: In the first couple of chapters it looks like the [[LoveTriangle love triangle]] is between the friendly and reliable guy, Yoo Won (Betty), the mischievous and edgy one, Hee Bum (Veronica) and the main character, Jumi (Archie) in the middle. [[spoiler:But after chapter 35 more or less the tables turn and Yoo Won is the "Veronica" love interest while Jumi is the "Betty" one to Hee Bum's "Archie"]].

*BigManOnCampus: Choi Yoo Won was, before missing his CSAT.

*{{Bishounen}}: Yoo Won, Hee Bum and Si Won are very handsome, especially the first, who gets treated as a [[ChickMagnet celebrity sometimes]].

*BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:Yoo Won was a nice little kid who only wanted to have friends and a nice life with his mother. But his poverty, his bad grades and his reputation after being accused of being a thief were the start of the bullying from his classmates. He even got beat up twice (By Min Woo and some thugs). When things started going well for him, Yoo Won realized how fake people were at his surroundings so he stopped caring about them, which resulted on his manipulative tendencies.]]

*BrilliantButLazy: He’s very smart, he’s in the advanced classroom, but Hee Bum puts no effort in his studies, he goes to the academy just to fool around.

*TheCharmer: Yoo Won knows how to wrap people [[ManipulativeBastard around his little finger]]. People say they can’t help but like him. Because of this, he also has a lot of good personal connections.

*CigaretteOfAnxiety: Both Kang Hee Jae and Choi Yoo Won share this quirk.

*TheConfidant: Jumi is, to Yoo Won at first, then to Hee Bum as well. The later gets too accustomed to it and even starts taking her for granted, until [[DudeWheresMyRespect she breaks down]].
--> '''Jumi''': "Why do you only look for me when you're having a hard time? I've been treating you so well. Shouldn't you listen to me when I look like I'm struggling too? You ungrateful jerk."

*DarkAndTroubledPast: Both main guys have their own traumatic childhood.

*DramaQueen: Hee Bum. A total dramaqueen. He gets so heartbroken in the first few chapters he even thinks in a dramatical way about [[SuicideAsComedy jumping from a rooftop]].

*DontTellMama: Eun Hye doesn’t know that his son [[spoiler:really stole the bottle from his classmate (though she suspected so)]] nor does she know that [[spoiler:he’s gay]].

*{{Gayngst}}: [[spoiler:When he was a child Yoo Won fell in love with his friend Min Woo. Even though he never confessed (he probably didn’t realize what his feelings meant at that time) and just wanted to be friends with him, Min Woo got teased by their friends telling him that they should get married since Yoo Won seemed to like him so much. Not only did Min Woo get really angry and implied that Yoo Won might be the one who stole the bottle from Semi but he also beat him up.]]

*IncompatibleOrientation: [[spoiler:When Jumi starts falling in love with Hee Bum, it looks like it’s an impossible romance since until that point Hee Bum seems to be gay. We later find out he might be… [[AmbiguouslyBi confused]]. Yoo Won and Hee Bum’s relationship has the same problem, since Yoo Won is [[StraightGay gay]], but that’s something only he and Gi Taek know, while the story suddenly implies that Hee Bum is actually [[ShockingSwerve asexual]].]]

*InsultofEndearment: At first Hee Bum starts calling Jumi ''“Jukkumi” (Webfoot Octopus)'' to mess with her since it sounds alike to her name. Later, when they start growing closer, he calls her like that as a nickname. [[spoiler:He even buys stickers of little octopuses to stick in her phone.]]

*IWantMyBelovedtoBeHappy: [[spoiler:She may be heartbroken after she got rejected, but Jumi wants Hee Bum to be happy with Yoo Won when they get back together and tries to help them (until they break up again).]]

*JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite his bratty attitude, Hee Bum is unexpectedly a really good friend, who gets really attached to people who treat him nice and cares a lot about them.

*MysteriousPast: The story keeps foreshadowing that something really awful happened last year, it’s not until the whole flashback starts that we get to see and understand everything.

*NiceGuy: Not only is she a nice, friendly girl, Jumi is also very patient and wants to help everybody around her. Hee Bum even tells her it would be nice if Yoo Won was as nice as her.

*TheNicknamer: ''“Webfoot Octopus” “Beardie” “Rainbow Reflection” “Friend 1”'', Hee Bum keeps calling people names and he doesn’t care if they like it or not.

*NoSocialSkills: Hee Bum has no idea how to make friends. He’s socially inept. Even when he actually tries it looks really forced and weird.

*OffScreenBreakup: We know that it happened, but we never get to actually see how Yoo Won and Hee Bum broke up. [[spoiler:Not in the first time, nor in the second one.]]

*OnlyFriend: Jumi, to Hee Bum.

*OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Jumi, as well as her friends, Do Na and Ye Bin are common korean high school students preparing for their CSAT.

*ParentalIssues: Since he is an illegitimate son, Hee Bum has some problems when it comes to getting along with his family.

His father goes as far as hitting him just because [[DatingWhatDaddyHates he’s dating Yoo Won]].]]

*PoorCommunicationKills: Basically Hee Bum and Yoo Won’s whole relationship is a mess because of their poor communication skills. [[spoiler:Both feel as if they don’t love each other as much as the other so they stopped caring about it.]]

*SecretKeeper: Even though Yoo Won was kind of hesitant at first, he tells Jumi to keep in secret his past relationship with Hee Bum and she does so. She shows that she’s trushworthy when she doesn’t tell anything to Sol Hee while being threatened by her. [[spoiler:Not only that, but she also helps Yoo Won when he wants to introduce his “girlfriend” to his mother by faking being his lover.]]

*SecretRelationship: Yoo Won doesn’t want his relationship with Hee Bum to come to light.
