They felt like strangers for a while even while they were married. The male lead was odd and socially awkward and the female lead was kind of leafing the whole romance. It was definitely draggy at times but in spite of that it was cute in its own way. He did a lot for her silently and she kind of understood his awkward nature for the most part. There are literally no kissing scenes but there are a few references to intimacy. Slow burn indeed and more for those that watched the prequel i think
