[[File:yb_5130.jpg|frame|From bottom: Go Mi Nyeo, Hwang Tae Kyung, Kang Shin Woo, Jeremy]]

 

 

* Hwang Tae Kyung, the proud, arrogant and completely anal band leader (with a heart of gold).

In May 2011, it was announced that a [[Adaptation|Japanese remake]] of this drama will be released in Japan in July 2011 as ''Ikemen Desu ne'' (美男ですね).

 

* [[Always Someone Better]]: Yoo He Yi's feelings towards Go Mi Nam

* [[Arranged Marriage]]: The rumors of Jeremy's past involve being a member of [[Blue Blood|English aristocracy]] and his engagement to the princess of England. When questioned about it, he says he still keeps in touch with her.

* [[Badass]]: Shin Woo's backstory involves taking down 17 guys in a fight by himself when he was still in high school.

* [[Bokukko]]: Go Mi Nyeo

* [[Boy Band]]: A.N.JELL.

* [[Captain Oblivious]]: Due to being raised by nuns, Mi Nam is a little sheltered. Naive. Dense. To put it mildly.

* [[Childhood Friend Romance]]: Mi Nam's best friend had a crush on Mi Nyeo and was planning to propose to her once he completed his mandatory military service, despite the facts that he hadn't seen her in a while and that she was supposed to be in a convent. He never made a move when they were younger because she was [[My Sister Is Off-Limits|his best friend's younger sister]].

* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]] - A.N.JELL for a photo shoot.

* [[Dogged Nice Guy]]: Shin Woo as a Type B, who is the first band member to discover (and keep) Mi Nyeo's gender secret.

* [[Dumb Blonde]]: Jeremy. He's not a natural blonde though, [[Captain Obvious|obviously]].

* [[Fan Girl]]: A.N.JELL have lots. Some of them camp outside A.N.JELL's residence seemingly round the clock. Tae Kyung gets very competitive about how many he has.

* [[The Hong Sisters]]: One of their most successful collaborations.

* [[Hopeless Suitor|HopelessSuitors]]: Shin Woo and Jeremy. Also, Mi Nyeo's childhood friend.

* [[Hurricane of Euphemisms]]: The star euphemism is done to death.

* [[Imagine Spot]]: Used numerous times in the drama for comedic relief.

* [[Just Friends]]: Virtually every boy Mi Nyeo meets has a crush. [[Incredibly Lame Pun|In the end, there can only be one.]]

* [[Kick the Dog]]: Tae Kyung pretends to throws Mi Nam's [[Memento MacGuffin]] -- a ring given to her and her brother by their parents -- into a nearby stream and tells her to give up searching for her [[Missing Mom]], prompting her to search uselessly in said stream all night. The only things that prevent people from saying he crossed the [[Moral Event Horizon]] are the facts that Tae Kyung is the love interest and has a [[Freudian Excuse]] involving [[Parental Abandonment]].

* [[Lyrical Dissonance]]: Jeremy sings an upbeat song about falling in love - while bawling his eyes out because he's just been rejected. The cheerful lyrics just make it so much worse.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Mi Nam and Mi Nyeo mean [[Punny Name|'boy' and 'girl']] in Korean, respectively. Go Mi Nam is also a pun on the Korean word for '[[Bishonen]]'.

* [[Mommy Issues]]

* [[Oblivious to Love]]: It's a miracle how Go Mi Nam manages not to notice all the guys in the band want her. A miracle.

* [[Piggyback Cute]]: When Go Mi Nam gets drunk, Shin Woo carries her back to the house.

* [[Product Displacement]]: Storefront names and clothing labels are [[Pixellation|pixelated]]. Vehicle logos are duct taped.

* [[Real Person Fic]]: Jeremy reads some bandslash of himself, Shin Woo and Tae Kyung, and likes it.

* [[Rich Bitch]]: Tae Kyung's mother and He Yi.

* [[Shirtless Scene]]: After dance practice, [[The Ingenue|Mi Nam]] has to pass through a locker room filled with naked back-up dancers. Lucky for her, [[Dogged Nice Guy|Shin Woo]] comes to her rescue and escorts her out.

* [[Shout-Out]]: There are a lot of shout-outs to other dramas and movies in South Korean pop culture, especially during the [[Imagine Spot|imagine spots]].

** A snippet of Korean Idol Band [[Super Junior]]'s song "Sorry Sorry".

** ''[[James Bond]]'' movies. (Epi 8)

* [[Spotting the Thread]]: Mi Nyeo's cover is almost blown because her brother's best friend noticed that the scar Mi Nam got from a motorcycle accident was missing and that their shoe sizes were no longer the same. Luckily for Mi Nyeo, he doesn't reveal her secret.

* [[Stalking Is Love]]: Shin Woo spends a whole day following Mi Nyeo and buying her treats and presents without her realizing it. Some fans found it endearing, while others just found it creepy and pathetic.

* [[Twin Switch]]: The premise of the series.

* [[Unsettling Gender Reveal]]: Most of the cast, but best played with Jeremy.
