Romance Is A Bonus Book Season 2: was a delightful bonus for all the book lovers out there, as finally, we get one Korean drama where books are mentioned at every spot, and bibliophiles can finally agree with one series adaptation that isn’t a book.
Romance Is A Bonus Book originally titled Romaenseuneun Byeolchaekburok is a 2019 released South Korean drama series starring Lee Na-young and Lee Jong-suk.
Even though the heartwarming drama had one of the most satisfying endings, fans still wanted more from their favorite characters. Not catering just to romance, the drama takes the fans through various points in life.
That one has gone through or might go through in the future. With cast members who are loved globally for their performances. The K-drama is one of the best things to watch and a treat to the eyes of the viewers.
Especially the ones who love books. The story revolves around a copywriter who is trying to get back to work. An excellent editor who holds the secrets of Korea’s one of most loved writers who disappeared after releasing his last book.
And a publishing company, “Gyeoroo, which is filled with passionate and hardworking editors, and designers. By the end of the show, as the story unfolds, we see every character going through developing the best forms of themselves, along with the writer’s perspective of the books. Before release, the show was supposed to be named “How To Publish Love?”.
Romance Is A Bonus Book Season 2: Is Renewed or Cancelled?
While TVN and Netflix are yet to make it official, it’s already clear that the series won’t return for a second round. Netflix and other official websites have listed its run from January to March 2019.
This hints that the show has already ended, and its creator might not be planning to continue it in the future. Despite constant demands from fans, producers of Romance Is A Bonus Book have refused to talk about the sequel.
Well, as far as renewal is concerned, most K-drama series rarely get another chance. In the history of South Korean TV shows, only a few have returned for a second season. Hence, it will be hard for Romance Is A Bonus Book Season 2 to get the green signal.
Besides, considering that series writer Jung Hyun-Jung has already wrapped up the story of almost all the characters, they might not return to TV again.
Netflix has played an important role in the creation and distribution of many South Korean shows. The streamer already has a big collection of popular K-drama series. In fact, the platform has begun to create high-potential original K-drama series (like Extracurricular) that are doing great business.
There’s still hope that Netflix might push successful shows like Romance Is A Bonus Book Season 2 into production again. If that happens, the installment will be a treat for the loyal fanbase of the show.
