yes!!!! and the fact he actually learns about and overcomes an internal prejudice through her, and they both respect each other while having a fun, playful dynamic. honestly one of my favorite romances in the action genre - ESPECIALLY cuz at no point (yet) does he go stupid chauvinistic or have her be a damsel in distress despite her being more skilled in martial arts lol. i also love that she just goes along with his schemes too, like such a solid partner-in crime. honestly his attitude towards all the well portrayed women (besides maybe his dad's 3 wives) is awesome too; he doesn't like look down on or objectify them....hopefully this continues that trend cuz im loving it!
i love how they're good friends first and foremost who take turns scamming each other and have a little competition going on everytime. way before any mutual feelings were explicitly hinted, we saw how they built up respect for each other and are will to learn from the other person.
their relationship never derails the main action plot, there's no sleazy fanservice, and whenever it's shown, it's actually adorable instead of distracting.
