* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Jin Pyo won't allow his henchmen to export drugs to South Korea (the rest of the world is perfectly fine though). So he executes one of them to prove his point.
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Jin Pyo {{spoiler|after he finds out that Yoon Sung and company were able to secure the money away from him.}}
* [[False -Flag Operation]]: Yoon Sung went after Kim Jong Shik with a vengeance after seeing one of his personal cars run over Shik Joong. {{spoiler|Turns out that Jin Pyo had a hand in it so that he can see Yoon Sung assassinate Kim Jong Shik. This pisses Yoon Sung off.}}

Line 250:
* [[Sequel Hook]]: Depends on how you view the last episode on whether SBS will do another one or not. So far, the high ratings it had throughout most of Asia, the ambiguous ending and the fan's campaigning will determine if the networks will do it since Korean TV shows don't have more than one season. With a few exceptions.
* [[Sexy Shirt Switch]]: Na Na looks fetching in one of Yoon Sung's shirts when they have to change clothes after getting caught in the rain.
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: Yoon Sung gets several throughout the series, and Young Joo surprisingly ([[Hello, Attorney!|but rightfully]]) gets one himself in episode 11.
