* [[Augmented Reality]]: AThe keycentral elementdevice toaround which the storyplot revolves.
 
* [[Beyond the Impossible]]: The reaction Jin-woo and his team back in Korea have to the detail and environmental effects in the game, particularly the moment in the first episode when a Nasrid warrior lands on top of a (real) car and appears to cave it in and shatter its windows.
Line 46:
* [[Holographic Terminal]]: The user interface projected by the game acts like one of these without actually existing outside the image generated by the contact lenses worn by the player.
 
* [[Jerkass]]/[[JerkassJerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Yoo Jin-woo comes across as an arrogant bastard at first. It later turns out that while he hasdoes have a bad temper (and it certainly flared up in episode 1), it appears that he actually likes people who stand up to him and deliberately provokes otherspeople to see if they'll rise to the occasion or submit meekly. It's a telling detail that despite his temper and brusque manner, his underlings can get away with things like calling him mean and blunt to his face, or admitting they like seeing him get repeatedly beaten down by a game boss.
 
* [[Metaphor Is My Middle Name]]: When Cha Hyeung-suk tells him not to be childish in episode 2, Jin-woo responds (at least in translation) "'Childish' is my middle name."
 
* [[Mind Screw]]: By the end of episode 2, you will already be saying "what the ''hell'' is going on here?" Between the flashbacks, the flash-forwards, and the unexplained weirdnesses, this seems to be the series' stock-in-trade.
 
* [[Mission Control]]: Park Seon-Ho and Choi Yang-ju back at J One in Korea, whenever Jin-woo is in the game. Not that he pays a lot of attention to them at times.
 
* [[Mooks]]: The Guards of Aragon in episode 2, at least to Cha Hyeung-suk.
Line 68 ⟶ 70:
 
* [[Split Screen]]: Episode 2 makes clever use of two-way and three-way splits during Hee-joo's rant at Jin-woo over Jung-hoon's cell phone.
 
* [[Those Two Guys]]: Currently, Park Seon-Ho and Choi Yang-ju back at J One in Korea, who also act as [[Mission Control]] from time to time.
 
* [[Time Skip]]: Episode 2 ends with a jump one year into the future from the events of the rest of the episode.
