* The close relationships of the four lead characters:
** Cheong-san and Su-hyeok are the most obvious with their brotherhood and fun banters, and after the outbreak, they look out for each other in both fighting the infected and personal problems.
** Cheong-san and On-jo: classic childhood friendship with jokes and protectiveness. She is the most worried when Cheong-san disappears and tries any way to find him back and of course Cheong-san always protects her when everything goes bad.
** Cheong-san and Nam-ra: while they are at disagreement in most of their screen time, at least Cheong-san tolerates Nam-ra for Su-hyeok's sake and Nam-ra does not judge him at all for his actions against her.
** Su-hyeok and On-jo: besides being normal good friends before shits go down, Su-hyeok protects On-jo from any dangers when Cheong-san is not around and after On-jo lost him, Su-hyeok becomes her close friend during her four-month self-isolation.
** Su-hyeok and Nam-ra: mutual crushes; they start awkward but after realizing their feelings for each other, they protect each other fiercely. Su-hyeok tries his hardest to protect Nam-ra when she was infected and everyone became wary of her while with her new powers, Nam-ra helps Su-hyeok and the group to survive the outbreak.
** On-jo and Nam-ra: while On-jo hates her at first, she is the first person to vouch for Nam-ra's possible immunity to the virus after Gwi-nam bit her and after accepting Su-hyeok and Nam-ra's relationship, helps the girl to open up to her friends. They become closer to the point that Nam-ra is the one hugging On-jo when the latter lost Cheong-san and On-jo is very determined to find Nam-ra again.

!Episode 6
* This episode is basically the highlight for On-jo's emotional intelligence and why she is the main character that glues the group together despite the Western fanbase's dislike towards this kind of character:
** At the beginning, she is the only one who stays with the grieving Ji-min to make her have someone to talk to and tells her not to lose hope. Before running out to find Cheong-san, On-jo holds her hand and tells her not to let go.
** Knowing Cheong-san would not listen even after the group tells him to stay, On-jo contacts him through the microphone (remember, Cheong-san can hear what she says but not vice-versa) to beg him to stay despite his usual attitude towards her. And it works.
** When Nam-ra was found bitten by Gwi-nam and Cheong-san and Su-hyeok get into a heated argument which eventually escalates into a physical fight, despite her earlier jealously, On-jo protects Nam-ra by pointing out she did not have blood on her mouth, logically proving both Cheong-san and Su-hyeok have no reason to lie about Gwi-nam's situation, deflecting Ji-min's (understandably) cynical comments and comforting Nam-ra. Even when she insists she still hates her, it is clear that On-jo places friendship and staying together first and foremost.
* Also, Su-hyeok gets the spotlight as well:
** Despite the bite wound, Su-hyeok barely hesitates before helping Nam-ra up and joining the group.
** He protects Nam-ra from the group's growing fear, especially Cheong-san's proactive intent on killing her, even taking a hit for her when it looks like she bit him. After that, he ties his hand with Nam-ra's to make sure only he and Nam-ra are amongst the casualties if she bites him.
