First of all, how can they have a sibling relationship when FL hopped into this world, immediately became head of the family, ML went to school right after that and only came back in like a year?
So like, at most they are friends and partners who rely on each other. Would you feel sibling affection for someone who you just met in in your 20s (in the case of FL)?Also if people feel uncomfortable at the moniker “noonim”, that is based on a misconception of Asian culture. “Noona” “Nee-san” “Jiejie” are all used to call older females one is closed to.

Not only that but they are even used as nicknames between lovers in some Asian countries. I’m chinese and for example, in an old wuxia drama (LOCH) where the FL called the MC “Jing-gege” aka “brother Jing” after they became lovers. Just like girls call their bfs “oppa” in Korea. Also immediately connecting that moniker to practices like maid cafes is just ?????? to an asian person, personally.

You are all free to feel uncomfortable with the set up, but claiming that “noona/noonim” is there to set up real incest when ML p much just being respectful to someone senior is just a stretch. It’s also definitely not disrespectful of others to dismiss your concerns 44 chapters into this story, which has obviously always been about romance between non blood related step-siblings.
I’d say it’s the rest of us that have to deal with this discourse about technically non-existent incest by people standing on a precarious moral high ground, just because they couldn’t make the decision to drop something they don’t enjoy. Like, WHAT is it gonna take to weed you people out?

    I'd add the official version has her calling him Eus by chapter 27... But has him still calling her Lady Lan. While this unofficial -Im super happy to read and enjoy- version, uses noonim.

    You're more than aware that this is romance and Yus is clearly endgame so why do you still see them as siblings? They don't even act like siblings lmao
