Shes Got Legs is not longer a trope
* LegFocus: Moon-young's gorgeous legs are often emphasized, like when she's first shown onscreen eating at a restaurant, with a knee-length skirt that shows off her calves, or when Ju-ri has come to her apartment to get a document signed, and Moon-young lounges on her couch in a robe, again showing off her calves. Then at least OnceAnEpisode after that she's wearing some kind of short skirt or other leg-baring outfit.

dewicking Knife Nut per TRS
* BladeEnthusiast: Part of Moon-young's general creepiness is a fondness for knives. When she's eating at a steakhouse, she likes the steak knife so much that she takes it with her. When she shows up at the publishing company all the office workers scramble to hide any knives or scissors laying on their desks. One worker is away from their desk and left a letter opener lying out; Moon-young takes it.

* TheSociopath: In episode 2 the obnoxious book critic threatens to out Moon-young as a sociopath. The central theme of the series is just how much of a sociopath Moon-young actually is. She definitely demonstrates some of the characteristics. When she saw Gang-tae drowning in a river when they were children, she actually sat and debated for a while whether or not she should save him. As a child, she pulled the wings off of butterflies. She generally shows a lack of empathy. But Gang-tae in particular seems to be able to make her act more human: she ''did'' save him back in the day, and she intervenes in episode 2 to rescue the Moon brothers when Sang-tae is having a severe meltdown at her book signing. And while Moon-young never becomes ''normal'' or anything, her love of Gang-tae leads her to show increasing amounts of genuine empathy over the course of the series.

* HotterAndSexier: Most Korean dramas are very circumspect about portraying sexuality, but ''It's Okay to Not Be Okay'' is more explicit than most. The {{Shirtless Scene}}s with Gang-tae are standard for K-drama, but the ShowerScene with Moon-young isn't. Moon-young also is quite horny, caressing Gang-tae's pecs and talking openly about how she wants to have sex with him. Most surprisingly, in episode 16 there's a shot of the two of them in bed together, clothes scattered across the bedroom. They're just sleeping, but it's pretty unusual in Korean drama to see two people naked in bed together.
