* [[SheIsAllGrownUp He Is All Grown Up]] / KidHeroAllGrownUp: Jieun is an adorable teenager. Although his exact age during the game isn't clear, it's obvious he'll be an attractive adult. During the [[FastForwardToReunion epilogue]] we get to see him after he's matured.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Is Jisoo a BastardBoyfriend whose treatment of Heejung is RomanticizedAbuse? Or is he so LoveHungry because he is desperate to be the winner considering his wish and all? [[spoiler:His little sister will die alone if he doesn't win, as her illness will advance and he will be stuck in Heejung's world without his memories]]. Especially when looking at the [[spoiler: Wizard Ending]], it's even pretty much stated that he is the only one in the group that ''really'' wants to win, no matter what while the others admit to be fine either way. It's hard to say if he'd behave similarly in a normal relationship without those high stakes.

* WhyWouldAnyoneTakeHimBack: Many players' reactions to [[spoiler:Jiyeon's route]]. You spend most of the route getting ignored, manipulated, extorted, threatened, and even ''assaulted'' by this guy before he finally up and leaves, but [[PlayerCharacter Heejung]] continues to believe (against mountains of evidence to the contrary) that all of that "isn't the real him" and that ''she'' needs to apologize. It's absolutely maddening for players who feel that [[spoiler:Jiyeon [[MoralEventHorizon crossed multiple lines]] and doesn't come anywhere near redeeming himself in the time between his return and the end of the route]]. It doesn't help that Heejung makes some monumentally poor decisions elsewhere in the route, leaving players feeling at the mercy of [[WhatAnIdiot a really stupid avatar]].

** Jisoo gets ''very'' pushy with Heejung about going out with him, and is disturbingly possessive of her and jealous of other men (including [[HopelessSuitor Heejae]]) even on routes other than his own. But with TheReveal that [[spoiler:his little sister's life depends on him winning the Wizard's game, it's easier to understand why he's so desperate for Heejung's attention and why he panics when he thinks he's losing]]. It's still not ''acceptable'' behavior, but some players are more willing to make allowances based on context. [[spoiler:It doesn't hurt his case that he gives up his memories to bring himself and Lily to Heejung's world, [[HeroicSacrifice saving Heejung]] from the Wizard at the same time]].

Added DiffLines:

* JerkassWoobie: Three of the five boys arguably fit, as does [[spoiler:the Wizard]].
** Jiwoo is a snarky, rude, self-proclaimed {{Tsundere}} who regularly insults the protagonist and asserts his own superiority to everyone in his vicinity. But underneath all of that is [[spoiler:a deeply insecure person who recently lost his father and was subsequently disowned by his mother, who concurrently dropped the bomb that he was adopted and she never wanted him]].
** Jiyeon comes off as upbeat and perky in other routes, but his own goes further into his manipulative streak and the reasons behind it. [[spoiler:He constantly lies about his living situation and background in order to get money and gifts from wealthy strangers, and threatens Heejung when she confronts him about it. He even physically attacks her and [[ForcefulKiss kisses her against her will]], telling her to stay away from him. Near the end of his route, we learn that he never knew his parents and was raised by a gang. He had a brief HopeSpot when he was taken in by an old woman he calls "Granny", but one of his former gang members found out and punished Jiyeon's desertion by killing her. Some players lost all sympathy for him regardless of his backstory, but he's certainly had a miserable life]].

* HoYay: Jihae and Jieun's very, very close relationship. Jisoo even points it out at one point, claiming that guys being too close is 'gross' and that he only likes girls. And then Jiyeon reminds him of 'that thing' they did together one night when Jisoo was drunk. Jisoo is very displeased.

** Also, Jisoo calling Jihae and Jieun's relationship "gross". Though their relationship isn't sexual, homosexuality is still largely taboo in Korea.

** Every route needs you to purely concentrate on your love interest...except Jihae's where you end up with the bad end if Jieun doesn't have at least one heart. The game doesn't hint at any point that this is necessary, especially since Jieun's route ''doesn't'' need Jihae. While it is possibly to deduct the reason after having played Jieun's route, it is still quite difficult to figure out why the bad ending keeps happening.

* CryForTheDevil: It's generally agreed that the Wizard is evil due to his creepy obsession with Heejung and his desire to see her suffer. However, your tune might change after you find out ''why'' he created the game. When you've achieved the good endings for all the characters, the Wizard's box will be unlocked in the Bonus Section, and you will get to see Behind the Story. Whether you find it happy or sad, [[TearJerker keep a box of tissues handy]].

* ValuesDissonance: Heejae is a really nice guy, but Heejung seems especially reluctant to accept his feelings when she learns he'll inherit his parents' chicken restaurant. This might be because in Korea, financial stability is a huge factor in choosing a romantic partner.
