8!The series includes the following tropes:
9* AbusiveParents: Hun's father is physically abusive towards him and forced him to leave behind all of his possessions that he had paid for, even his clothes when he threw him out.
10* BettyAndVeronica:
11** Tae-O's two love interests throughout the series are his down-to-Earth, friendly childhood friend Song-i (Betty) and the worldly, wealthy Se-hyeon (Veronica).
12** Song-i has one of her own with her being torn between her JerkWithAHeartOfGold long time friend Tae-O (Veronica) and the hard-working, friendly, working-class Do-hyeon (Betty).
13* DrivenToSuicide: Subverted; in episode 2, Song-i heads to a bridge and pours out her troubles to the suicide hotline phone nearby, but it doesn't appear that she was actually intending to jump.
14* FirstGirlWins: [[spoiler:Song-i is the first character Tae-o's age introduced on screen and the one he ends up with in the end]].
15* GildedCage: Ga-rin grew up in luxury, but her mother isolated her from the outside world, prompting her to escape and hide out at Tae-O's house.
16* SchoolOfNoStudying: Even though Tae-o, Song-i and Do-hyeon are all college students, Tae-o and Do-hyeon's studies are very rarely brought up and the school is mostly used as a setting for their scenes. Song-i is a lesser case; we do see plenty of her studying architecture and working on projects, but it doesn't factor into the overall story much.
