13!!This webtoon shows examples of:
14%%* AmusingInjuries
15* AsleepInClass: Eun Ah does a few times - it appears in the opening for the animated series.
16* BlackComedyRape: "Watch for the soap when you join the army". [[RunningGag To that end, Min Jun can never look at soap the same way again at the mere mention of it going by later chapters]].
17* BodyguardCrush: The blue-haired bodyguard in chapter 68(who is Morrinoah Jin from the webtoon ''Webcomic/{{Trace}}'', by the way).
18* CranialEruption: The most common injury.
19* DotingParent: There is a father in chapter 7 who doesn't bring enough money to buy both his cigarettes and his daughters chips. Cue wide-eyed stare. Guess which one he decides not to buy?
20** They return sixty chapters later.
21* FirstLove: Chapter 66's title and theme.
22* FourthWallMailSlot: Chapter 50.
23* IdiotHair: Manager. While definitely not stupid, he ''is'' very strange. His two sons in the animated series have inherited this trait.
24* IHaveThisFriend: The forty-five-year-old who likes Girls Generation (a Korean girl group), definitely not you, Manager... of course.
25* LikeBrotherAndSister: Eun Ah and Min Jun describe their relationship as this.
26* NoirEpisode: Chapter 96: ''Maiden Detective Kim Hye Yeon''.
27* NoPeriodsPeriod: Averted. There is a regular customer who is too shy to buy tampons (but only if the part-timer was a guy).
28* PuppyDogEyes: From the daughter in chapter seven, when she realises her father only has enough money for her snack or his cigarettes.
29* RunningGag: The dancing costumer and soap.
30* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: When asked, a customer refers to his female friend as a "friendly woman person".
31* ShoutOut:
32** Plenty to Korean bands, ''Gag Concert''(popular South Korean gag program) and one to ''Manga/DeathNote'' in chapter 38.
33** It also includes Cameos from other {{Korean Webtoons}}, including Morrinoah Jin ang Jangmi from ''Webcomic/{{Trace}}''.
34** When angry in chapter 47 Min Jun has an aura and glowing hair, like in ''Manga/DragonBallZ''.
35** Chapter 8 features Kusanagi Kyo from KOF series.
36** In chapter 252, A [[VideoGame/StarCraft Baneling]] makes an appearance.
37* StatusQuoIsGod: This is a weekly gag comic. Plot advancement really isn't an issue here.
38* UnsettlingGenderReveal: [[spoiler:The "man" in chapter 66.]]
39* WaxingLyrical: It's common for characters to quote song lyrics, particularly Girl's Generation.
40%%* WingDingEyes
