* [[Zero Percent Approval Rating]]: The King.
Line 38 ⟶ 37:
* [[Inter Class Romance]]: The King's fixation with a male street clown is a major point of contention in the court and used to help justify their coup. Nok-su is implied to also have caused friction for being lower class, but Nok-su is better at [[Manipulative Bitch|court intrigue]] than Gong-gil is.
* [[It Gets Worse]]: Jaeng-sang proposes at the start of the film that he and Gong-gil either run away or kill themselves. The latter may have been a better idea.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Despite being [[The Hero]], Jaeng-sang gets these moments halfway through in his treatment of Gong-gil, for whom he hithertofore was [[The Champion]]. This is presumably from misunderstanding that Gong-gil is in a very precarious position by this time and cannot leave the King no matter how much he may want to. Some of it may be a verbal approach to [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]].
* [[Like Father Like Son]]: Inverted. The ministers love reminding the King he is ''not'' what his father was.
* [[Love Ruins the Realm]]: The ministers view the King's dalliance with Gong-gil as this.
