Idk, I do think they've been starting to set up the romance already so it's not coming out of nowhere nowhere. Perez likes her bc of the savior trope, and tia is kinda falling victim to teenage/young adult hormones (not in a bad way lol) where she's more cognizant of boys (specifically Perez). I do think someone can have a romance while also focusing on a business, and it may actually become a stronger driving force to some ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Imo this story isn’t really a romance story. Yes it has romance in it but it’s not the main plot. The main plot is about our FL taking the steps to become the family head and ensuring her loved ones are healthy and happy for as long as possible. The romance is a side plot hence why it might seem kind of sudden if she falls in love with Perez. But like the other comment said, it’s been set up already that she’s fallen victim to teenage hormones, in a good way. Even as a teen, she’s blushed a few times when Perez did something for her, not to mention the kiss a few chapters back. That being said, I’m fine with her ending up with Perez. I just want to see her succeed in her goals.
Because this isn't some romantic story it has a plot lot of plot
It's very very slow burn I kid you not there is alot left tia definitely cares for perez but you are right she doesn't have the same feelings as perez right now but soon enough it will happen and very organically. I think that's what i like about this manhwa that neither of the leads life revolve around eachother they have their own goals and are allies who fall for eachother. ( Perez will say something a little different though *wink wink*). Since this story is mainly a revenge story that's definitely the main focus for the most part
I see it more clear than other mahnwas, I mean they know eachother since childhood, the worry bout eachother, the have lots of common experiences and slowly but surely have developed feelings. I guess not all love looks like cheesy mahnwas
Maybe I'm going crazy but I just can't see any romance forming between the two Iike sure pez like her but I just can see tia suddenly like pez back I feel like it would make more sense if pez ends up with someone else . The way they have written tia character it would be out of the blue for her to start focusing on romance instead of her business or family yk. We're also 200 chapters in and yet they don't seems interested in romance. My ideal ending would be this growing and expanding her multiple business and spending time with her family for pez it would be him getting his revenge for himself becoming king and realizing he never really loved tia like that but instead realize tia is more of a friend/family to him because she has been with he since he was young so they don't get together pez finds someone else and the two just stay close like family ヾ(☆▽☆)
