* [[Augmented Reality]]: A key element to the story.
* [[Augmented Reality]]: The central device around which the plot 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.

* [[Jerkass]]/[[Jerkass With a Heart of Gold]]: Yoo Jin-woo comes across as an arrogant bastard at first. It later turns out that while he has 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 others 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.

* [[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.
