Although Gae In's father isn't dead, Park Chul Han is not an active part of his daughter's life and doesn't recognize her talent. We find out it is because he resents his wife's death and rests the guilt over Gae In. They eventually reconcile.

Suggestive Collision: While Jin Ho and Gae In are on the bus together, the vehicle makes an unexpected brake. Gae In falls and Jin Ho puts his hands out to support her, only for his hands to end up on her butt. Gae In’s following anger isn’t helped by the fact that she thinks Jin Ho was ogling her.

Disappeared Dad: Jin Ho's father was absent in his teenage years after his death, not so long after he was fired from his last job. His mother is terribly affected by it up until the present. Although Gae In's father isn't dead, Park Chul Han is not an active part of his daughter's life and doesn't recognize her talent. We find out it is because he resents his wife's death and rests the guilt over Gae In. They eventually reconcile.

Gender-Bender Friendship: The series goes on and on until the first half that Gae In loves and trusts Jin Ho as a friend... only because she thought of him as "gay". Young Sun and Sang Joon's relationship starts out at the same way as Gae In and Jin Ho's, but Sang Joon's Camp Gay tendencies are actually a good benefit for Young Sun in the long run.

Epunymous Title: The word "개인의"('Gae In Ui') means individual/one's personal. "의" (Ui) added to the end of a word shows possession (like the English suffix "s"), so "개인의" ('Gae In Ui') also means "Gae In's." The title can be translated as "Gae In's Taste/Preference."
