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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Basically the same story but different settings. We have an age gap romance where the woman is older, both couples end up working together, in both dramas one of them is the boss of the other, and many other aspects that would be a too huge of a spoiler.

Two people end up working together who live together and have known each other throughout their lives. In both dramas one of the characters has feelings for the other for a very long time. Both couples end up working in the same firm but keep it a secret that they know each other. Both couples develop a relationship and keep also that a secret. Both dramas take place in the media/publishing world.
The biggest difference is that "Pinocchio" has as an additional topic a crime-case while "Romance is a Bonus Book" only focuses on the slice-of-life topic.

It's been a while since I watched RIABB so I don't really remember the details but there was a wedding.
And then the leads did cohabitate together for a while.
And there's also the discovering one's passion part.
