Romantiek is een bonusboek (2019)

They both revolve around the book world, specifically book publication and editing. It tells a love story between a rookie editor and a famous boo writer, similar to Romance is a Bonus Book.

- Noona romance! uwu
- Playful brother sister relationship till it becomes more
- Main Characters work in office settings
- Although the FL is older the younger ML is still the one looking after her/out for her
- both very cute and easy to watch

If you watched RiaBB because you love books you will enjoy CT. While one is a romantic comedy and the other is a drama they both share the love of books and reading as well as beautiful quotes.

Similarities:

1. ML with a long time love for FL, FL with reluctant feelings for ML.
2. Workplace romance where the relationship is hidden from co-workers.
3. Domesticity - cohabitation in RIABB, apartment neighbors in MRIH.
4. Detailed dive into a profession - publishing in RIABB, hagwons in MRIH.
5. Ensemble cast that show different aspects of that profession.

The major difference is the tone and tropes of the genres - RIABB is more light hearted slice of life romantic comedy, MRIH is slice of life with mildly makjang melodrama.

The same actor in both dramas: he plays a younger boy who is in love with the girl that saved his life once. Still "I hear your voice" has some paranormal abilities like mind-reading and a lot of crimal stories in it - by this it is more engaging. Even the chemistry between the main characters is far better.

Slow pace, calm/warm feelings.
Emphasis on joy of reading and literature, citations from books.
Male lead loves female lead since childhood.
RBB also has something similar like "the private blog posts" at the endings.

I recommend this both drama because , Male lead and Female lead
try to solve problem
In one drama explosion and another student murder/suicide

Both are noona romances and the male lead have been in love with female lead for years before finally having the courage to pursue her

The story is centered around a middle aged woman who has to figure out how to navigate her life after being cheated on by her husband. In her marriage she quit her career so now she is trying to rebuild it along the way, not the same comedy angle but fairly comedic. Dr Cha reminded me of this amazing drama. Older women stories being told and decenters men

- Editor-writer relationship / first and second leads have book publishing jobs
- Co-habitation of main leads
- FL has very bubbly and innocent personality
- ML is kinda sassy and childish

not sure yet but similar feel, pastel colours clash with bright colours, noona romance, comebacks for renowned actresses,..

Though everything else is different about these two, they both feature a noona romance where the male lead has loved the female lead since childhood, and became cold after obstacles got in the way of them being together.

Both dramas deal about 2 women that are divorced and go through a hard time. After a long jumping between jobs, both women end up, with the help, from in Romance is a Bonus Book, a friend, and in Cunning Single Lady, ex-husband, at a company as intern. Both have that man as their superior and keep it a secret from their coworkers.
Both stories give off such a similar vibe. Both women reminded me a lot of the other while watching the dramas.

Just one thing: please ignore the horrible synopsis of "Cunning single lady", it gives such a very bad impression, and trust me, it is completely wrong. There is by far more to the drama than what one thinks at first.

Even though not all that similar but have that similar vibe
They both have noona romance
They both have workplace romance
Side relationships you want

Loved the cast around the main characters in both of them

Both give off the similar sweet home vibes that is just what one needs every now and then. Also, similar plot with longtime friends with some flashbacks from the guy's perspective. Trust me, if you loved this then you should check this out.
