The romance is way too subtle actually, they smile and then hold hands to each other, then whatbtrain? In recent chaps its more of a fight with duke then more training actually, and i think that romance with noona is just smthing like a filler story since subin and friends are in closed training... It does feel enpty and boring without their antics so maybe the author decided to put some romance in it...

I'm not really a fan too but it doesn't bother me as much as other manhwas trying to include romance. What I didn't like is in Solo Leveling with Hae In and Jinwoo, because they made it so important to the story but didn't bother to execute it well. At least here, I can see the development from the very beginning.
BUT This ain't it. i tried, but noona and jiwoo doesn't sit right with me. i like eleceed so much except their ships with noona,can she just die to make jiwoo strong. Too super over cliche
