* ExtremeDoormat: In the past, Jiwon was close to being this, going along in everything Sumin made her wear and enduring all the bullying she got. Nowadays, Jiwon blames this for her ending in the old timeline and grows out of this.

* MadLove: A curious variant between Minhwan and Sumin. Minhwan admits to preferring Sumin above Jiwon, and Sumin clearly wants to steal Minhwan away from Jiwon. When they wake up together after spending a drunken night together in a motel, Minhwan leaves, saying it was just a fling. This in turn makes Sumin even more determined to conquer him.

* CrazyJealousGirl: Jiwon knows that Sumin is this at her worst, so she accepts Minhwan's confession at first to make Sumin want Minhwan more. At one point, she even thinks 'out loud' that she knows that Sumin always wants what she had, so she's giving him to her.

* IronicEcho: The school reunion day.
** Back in the old timeline, the school reunion was the day Jiwon wanted to erase from her memory. Sumin took her with her to the occasion, clinging to her arm and laughing when the others ridiculed Jiwon for wearing the earrings Sumin gave her to match and 'still being the glasses-wearing dork who wears ugly clothing'. Jiwon excused herself to go to the bathroom and spent the entire time sitting there, heaing all the chat around her. When she exits the bathroom, everyone had left.
** In the new timeline, Jiwon prepares for the school reunion with a shopping spree and help from Huiyeon, arranging things like contacts and a new hairstyle. Instead of going along with Sumin, she goes to the reunion herself, surprising everyone. Sumin tries to repair her image, clinging to her arm while the others comment on how the earrings fit Jiwon much better than they do on Sumin. Sumin excuses herself to go to the bathroom and spends the entire time sitting there - and is also eventually confronted by the people she had set up against Jiwon. When she exits the bathroom, everyone has left.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Huiyeon Yu seems like the overenthusiastic GenkiGirl who is regularly the comedic relief. Sumin tries to make fun of her by asking her what her granfather does, and she happily answers. However, Huiyeon is just as good in being the DeadpanSnarker as [[spoiler: her brother is]], as she shows after Jiwon leaves.
-->'''Sumin''': Oh, that's Jiwon for you. I guess you could say she's a bit nosy. She just can't seem to leave people alone, even if they're complete strangers...and I suggest you keep your distance from her. [...]

** An example moment where this shows is when [[spoiler: Huiyeon]] is stuck in the toilet without a pad. Sumin ignores her cries, and when returning, lies that she helped them. Jiwon hears the same cries and helps her, and then returns with [[spoiler: Huiyeon]] in tow.

* YouCantFightFate: A mild version and only at the start. At first, Jiwon manages to avoid a burn in her house, but then gets it anyway due to spilling food. She doesn't trip in Yu's office, but does when exiting the elevator. After noticing this, she manages to [[SubvertedTrope subvert]] this: Minhwan sells his stocks (which Jiwon predicted to go well) for M Industry stocks (the firm that would later crash) and the soup is spilled on Minhwan's shirt instead of Jiwon's.
