[[folder:Season 1: Serial Killing by Hashtag]]
* {{Bowdlerize}}: The English translation cuts out most of Doyeon's transition to Doha, including the hormone therapy and the slip of paper indicating a sex reassignment. Only the part about the makeup remains.
* BungledSuicide: Doyeon survives her family's SuicidePact and decides to get revenge on Remi instead.
* DarkAndTroubledPast:
** Remi was abandoned as a child and sexually abused by her classmates and gym coach in high school. She dropped out as a result of the trauma.
** Doyeon was mocked for her looks, and a botched plastic surgery made the bullying worse. Her mother and sister's livelihoods were also affected, so they made a SuicidePact to make the pain stop. Doyeon survived and turned into Doha to get revenge on Remi.
* DownerEnding: Remi slits her wrist in the hospital after seeing that all her fans turned against her for sympathizing with Doha.
* DrivenToSuicide:
** Doyeon's family has a SuicidePact by pill overdose, but she survives.

* DubInducedPlotHole: The English translation cuts out most of Doyeon's transition to Doha, making it look like she became a man by putting on makeup.
* EasySexChange: Doyeon's transition to Doha doesn't seem too difficult given that she had nothing to her name.
* KarmaHoudini: The doctor never faces comeuppance for botching Doyeon's surgery and pinning the blame on Remi.
* MetaphoricallyTrue: Doha blames Remi for killing his sister. While he's talking about his past self, Doyeon, he did have a sister, Dohee, who was bullied to the point of committing a SuicidePact with the family.
* SerialKiller: Someone is going around killing social media personalities. It turns out to be Doha.
* SocialMediaBeforeReason: Remi tends to share every bit of her life on Nstagram, including her location. This makes her an easy target for stalkers.
* StockholmSyndrome: Remi comes to sympathize with Doha after learning about his tragic past.
* StrappedToAnOperatingTable: Tay Choi straps Remi's ankles to an operating table, but she gets out of it by stabbing him with a scalpel.
* SuicideDare: Remi's fans turn on her after she cries out for Doha, going so far as to dare her to kill herself. She follows through with it.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Hé-ri was touched when Tae-hyuk defended her when her own employers were against her, so she stalked him.
* BittersweetEnding: Sarang brings justice to the phantom killer and does her time for killing her daughter, but she finds out that the phantom games are still going on. As long as people abuse children, the games will never end.
* BloodSplatteredWeddingDress: Tae-hyuk puts Sarang in a wedding dress and ties her up in a coffin with razor wires, causing her to bleed onto the dress. The dress only gets bloodier as the game continues.
* CainAndAbel: Bin was neglected in favor of his disabled older brother, so he set the house on fire and left him to die.
* ContrastingSequelSetting: This season is more confined than the first,
