* DramaticIrony: In ''Answering A Dreaded Question'', many of the kids who suffered from some variety of AbusiveParents have to cope with being orphaned, and struggle with the complicated feelings of being relieved that they no longer have to deal with the bad aspects of their relationships, and being under the impression that that is so horrible that they can never express that to anyone else.

** Dae-su and On-jo have remarkably similar reactions to learning of their best friend's feelings for Joon-yeong. Which is excitement for the best friend, promises to hurt Joon-yeong should he break their heart, but hey, what are the chances he'd be dumb enough to reject someone so great? However, Dae-su's reaction is most likely thanks to Woo-jin emotionally coming out to him the night before, while On-jo is just normally that protective, meanwhile Joon-yeong does end up confessing to Woo-jin like Dae-su wanted him to while I-sak's heart is broken, and On-jo is left making threats of violence.

* EverybodysBabySister: Mostly to Ha-ri, his actual older sibling, but Woo-jin qualifies as this. Ha-ri has been overprotective of him since the moment their parents brought him home from the hospital as babies. Joon-yeong falls in love with him immediately after meeting him and can be protective of him, particularly when comforting him after Ha-ri finds out about their relationship and in feeling responsible for Woo-jin breaking his wrist and nearly getting killed. Dae-su also promises to kick the ass of anyone who hurts him, be it through homophobia or Joon-yeong breaking his heart. Tellingly, every one of the classmates present to hear the bastard soldier insult Woo-jin for grieving is pissed off enough to throw peaches at the soldier.

** Additionally, due to the rest of Class 2-5 mostly being OutOfFocus for school scenes, some things are left ambiguous. How did they end up missing the first helicopter despite not having to take a detour to the music room and with the roof door unlocked? Did Nam-ra and Su-hyeok get together despite her not becoming a halfbie? Did any of them confess anything different during the campfire scenes given their expanded backstories? How did they come up with the plan to get out of the storage room without Ha-ri?

* BigSisterInstinct: Ha-ri towards Woo-jin. To the point that she cannot even pretend to care about any of the other Class 2-5 kids, which causes some resentment from Gyeong-su after he discovers I-sak has died. Na-yeon also notes that most siblings likely would not go through the lengths she goes to rescue him. This is likely due to their parents' lackluster parenting. When she thinks she's going to ''die'' her last thoughts go to Woo-jin, begging him to stay safe and to forgive her for not finding him.

* BigScrewedUpFamily: The Jangs, mostly thanks to their parents. You have Ha-ri, who is put under copious amounts of pressure to be perfect in order to succeed in archery, to the point that she's quite literally not allowed to do anything but train and go to school, resulting in her sneaking out in a potentially dangerous manner in order to enjoy her life every once in a while. Then there's Woo-jin, who is largely ignored and also tends to do stupid and reckless shit on good days and is implied to act out even more as a bid for attention. This strains their relationship and causes a good deal of resentment between the once close siblings. And then there's their parents, who cause these problems by completely ignoring their son and exploiting their daughter, not listening to either and often using their kids more as props than anything else. Not to mention, both kids are queer, which is sure to go over horribly with their brutally homophobic parents.

* YouNeverDidThatForMe: A twofold example. Woo-jin resents that he never got the attention Ha-ri got for her talent while Ha-ri resents the freedom that Woo-jin was given instead.

Added DiffLines:

* PoorCommunicationKills:
** Ha-ri and Woo-jin both suffer under their parents, with her getting no freedom and him getting no attention. They do not talk about this with each other despite their extremely caring relationship, and therefore a rift is formed between them. Ha-ri sees Woo-jin as having all the free time in the world and getting away with things that she'd be scolded for. Woo-jin is jealous of how proud their parents are of her and feels like a mistake as they show no excitement over his life or future.
** Ha-ri berates Woo-jin over his milk habits while accidentally making him think she is talking about his sexuality.
** Ji-min does not explain to Na-yeon, who likely would have understood her position being bisexual in a conservative country, that her parents are extremely homophobic and that they cannot date. She instead ruins their relationship, spitting out insults in order to keep her away from her, which ruins their friendship and her chances of getting with her later on.
