- Both are very poetic
- Feel-good and refreshing dramas
- Boss/Employee Relationship + Poor Female Lead
- Might potentially give you second lead syndrome!

In both the drama the FL lies in her resume and gets an entry level job even though having prior work experience in higher role.

- Both dramas center around a FL in her 30s attempting to adjust to a new environment (academia, the workforce) after years of being a homemaker
- The FL is a mother and has a troubled marriage (leading her to eventually be with the ML)
- The leads knew each other prior and are just getting reacquainted

Both series are about women getting back into the workforce after taking off to focus on raising their families. They both have to start at a lower-level job then they previously occupied and their romantic interests are both younger men who are their superiors at work.

Divorced FL with a child trying to get back into the workplace, having to fib on resume to get a job. Younger love interest who is essentially a boss.

Romance is a Bonus Book is MUCH better, scripting, acting, themes, execution etc.

Similar stories but Romance is a Bonus Book has much more depth and life lessons as well as better chemistry between leads than My Dear Lady.

Both take place in the publishing industry. While Romance is a Bonus is about publishing books, Juhan Shuttai is about publishing manga. Both show the struggles the staff go through to publish, promote, and sell a book.

I love these friends to lovers genre but when they add the age gap it hits the spot! If you have not already seen this drama check it out!
Recommended by DarkDamsel
Both are very sweet romantic comedy dramas. Both the male and female leads in both are extremely loveable and they have a mature but playful side too. Both dramas will make you feel warm and happy inside.

Considering the type of narrative, the dramas have not a lot in common. But both talk about women that had to put themselves back to work after leaving a comfortable zone. They start to discover how great they can be once receiving golden opportunities.

Both dramas cover the magic (and business) of working as publishers, producers and authors for books and webtoons, respectively, also the daily life of those fields.

Both feature nice MLs/FLs who work and live together to some degree. Both have very memorable romantic scenes, and rely on words and looks more than physical intimacy. Both FLs are strong willed and have a solid sense of self, in a more quietly confident way. In RO the main couple learns to let the other into their lives, whilst in RIABB the protagonists' lives have been intertwined from a young age. Both are very heartwarming romances with good chemistry and interesting side characters.

Both titles are heartfelt romances between childhood friends. The main characters are in their 30s in both dramas. The interactions between the leads are both funny and endearing, and hit you right in the feels.
Recommended by Blumcsi
Both dramas are typical Noona romance-style
The leads are childhood friends and quite close.
In both dramas, the ML is the first one to realize she has feelings for the FL and starts pursuing her.
FLs in both have had unsuccessful relationships and find solace in the MLs.
very romantic and cute drams
