The music in the game is described as a mixed bag; while it contributes to the emotional beats and overall experience, it often falls short of being exceptional, with some tracks feeling repetitive and plain. The soundtrack can enhance excitement significantly, but it lacks variety and depth, leading to moments that feel cheesy rather than engaging. The intro music, however, has received praise and a desire for wider availability on platforms like Spotify and YouTube.
- “Writing, story, emotional beats, music, it has it all.”
- “I love the intro (please add song officially on Spotify and YouTube; I don't know much about K-pop vibes, so if there's anyone who recognizes which band created it, I would be thankful).”
- “The soundtrack sometimes brings excitement but at other times feels plain.”
- “There are sometimes some cheesy montages of the girl you're with being twee and smiling and frolicking to music in slow motion, playing with a sparkler or whatever because it's a 'fun' date.”
- “A well-chosen soundtrack can contribute up to 50% of the game's excitement.”

Character development in the game is noted to be uneven, with some characters feeling underdeveloped and lacking sufficient screen time, particularly Nico. While players appreciate the genuine storytelling, many express a desire for deeper character arcs and more satisfying conclusions, suggesting that the game could benefit from a choice-driven approach similar to Western titles. Overall, the abrupt endings and varying levels of character depth leave players wanting more engagement and closure.
- “As I explored more of the game, I got to know each one of them better, which was very cool, even though a couple of the girls have potential for more character development and a more satisfying ending than they got.”
- “I feel like they didn't give Nico (the foreigner girl) enough screen time and character development.”
- “The abruptness of endings and uneven character development across the love interests can leave players longing for more depth and a more conclusive sense of closure.”
- “But if you liked the more serious character developments that made some of the love interests from 'Love is All Around' or 'Five Dates' feel more real and engaging, 'Knowledge or Know Lady' might not fully engage you with some of the women not being fully fleshed out and abrupt endings.”
