Hello there, my adorable little faces. It’s time for another kdrama review. I’m maybe new to the Korean-drama world, but I’m doing my best to catch up, watching episodes nonstop, one after the other. ( lol )

Today, I will write about “Romance is a bonus book” ( original title: Romaenseuneun Byulchaekboorok ). As I already said, it’s a 2019 Korean production.

When the 37-year-old Kang Dan-yi ( Nayoung Lee ) gets a divorce after 12 years of marriage, she has to find a job in order to provide for herself and her daughter. Unfortunately, no one offers her a job after 12 years, that which she had stopped raising her daughter, and is desperate, with no home and zero income, secretly stays at her best friend’s house, until to finds another solution.

Her best friend, who has no idea about Dan-yi’s situation, Cha Eun-ho ( Jong-Suk Lee ), is a famous writer and the founding member of a publishing house. She randomly finds a document at his place from a board meeting in which they had decided to hire a few people with no degree or professional experience, and she sends an application telling them that she has no degree ( even if she actually has more than one ).

The CEO, moved by her answers, decides to hire her, and when Cha Eun-ho finds out what’s really going on, he has an agreement with Dan-yi to not tell anyone that they have known each other for almost 20 years, in order to avoid wrongfully gossiping.

A really truly sweet love story, full of passion for what someone wants for how their lives to be. How can someone lose or gain something in one night, and how can your dreams become true without even noticing at first?

The show has one season with 16 episodes, and it’s available on Netflix.

From me, it’s a 7.8/10 ⭐️
