1* AllStarCast: There's the popular Korean actors Jang Keun-suk and Park Shin-hye, plus well-known KoreanPopMusic idols Music/FTIsland's Lee Hong-ki and After School's UEE. However, it's averted with Music/CNBlue's Jung Yong-hwa since the group was only an indie band in Japan at the time and Yong-hwa was a newbie back then.
2* DyeingForYourArt:
3** Hong-ki dyed his hair blonde to indicate Jeremy's part-British heritage. Even though it's shown in an old video of the group that he's not a natural blonde.
4** Park Shin-hye had to cut her hair to a boyish short length so her character could crossdress as Mi-nam.
5* FakeBrit: The fully Korean Hong-ki played the partly-British Jeremy. Thankfully [[GratuitousEnglish his character didn't need to speak English and Hongki didn't have to put his Engrish to use]]. The only reference made to the heritage in the series is the rumor that he was betrothed to a princess back in his homeland.
6* PlayingTheirOwnTwin: Park Shin-ye played both (the real) Go Mi-nam and Go Mi-nyeo. However in a later appearance of the Go Mi-nam, they used a body double male actor to indicate that Mi-nam's body structure is different than Mi-nyeo's.
7* StarMakingRole:
8** While Music/FTIsland and Hong-ki had already debuted and were well-known back then, the drama gave Hong-ki a big popularity boost and got his band many more fans.
9** The popularity Jung Yong-hwa (Shin-woo) gained from the drama helped hype up Music/CNBlue who had already made their indie-debut in Japan and would debut in Korea not long after the drama finished.
