Slow burn
의미: A romantic connection that develops gradually over a long period of time rather than instantly.
A slow burn relationship starts without fireworks — maybe you were friends first, or the attraction grew over months or years. It's the opposite of love at first sight. Slow burns are often celebrated as more genuine and lasting than instant sparks. In pop culture, slow burn romances (in TV shows, books, and movies) are hugely popular because the buildup creates satisfying tension.

✗ 잘못된 표현
- Don't use 'slow burn' for a relationship that is simply not progressing — it implies growing warmth, not stagnation不要用'slow burn'来形容一段毫无进展的关系——它暗示的是逐渐升温的感情,而不是停滞不前No uses 'slow burn' para una relación que simplemente no avanza — implica un cariño creciente, no estancamiento単に進展していない関係に「slow burn」は使わないこと——この言葉は停滞ではなく、じわじわと温まっていく様子を暗示する단순히 진전이 없는 관계에 '슬로우 번'을 쓰면 안 된다——슬로우 번은 서서히 따뜻해지는 것을 의미하지, 정체를 뜻하는 게 아니다
