Romance Is a Bonus Book is one of those rare dramas that manage to stay gentle yet engaging. The world of publishing forms a thoughtful backdrop for a story about rebuilding one’s life with persistence and quiet wit. I especially liked the realism of the first episodes, when the heroine hits rock bottom and tries her best to survive and build a solid life again. The leads have natural chemistry, and their scenes together are a pleasure to watch. The pacing dips a little in the middle when her naïveté wears thin, but the story soon finds its rhythm again. Warm, well-acted, and quietly comforting.
