Still my favorite after 2 years
I never jump into slow burns because they're just not my cup of tea. But jj did not feel like I was waiting for something that would never come. They did not tease us with unnecessary "moments" between the main couple –and making the wait more agonizing– as most slow burns do.
The story progressed, and I did not feel like romance was missing from it. I enjoyed it in its own pace, appreciating the attention to the action parts. ( I cannot begin to explain how much I loved the balance between the comedy and deep/more serious topics as well.)
But of course, when Jack and Joke finally got together, I was waaay beyond excited for them. And it still didn't feel like "the wait finally paid off!", it just felt casual. My problem with slow burn is how usually they have feelings for each other since the beginning but either won't admit it to themselves or just don't realize it.
J&J did the opposite, they developed their feelings throughout the story and their own conflicts, without any unnecessary romance drama.
Although towards the end, the bad guy started to feel a little bit "cartoon villain" viby, but that's not really a problem for me. I had a good laugh at how ridiculous some of his lines were.
10/10.. I truly recommend this with my heart :)
