How To Dress Like K-Drama "Romance Is A Bonus Book"

[No spoilers]

A perfect series with a fast but steady storyline, so there’s not a dull moment. The characters are believable as is the workplace comedy-drama atmosphere. No one is walking in wearing a questionable crop top (like I have seen in the American primetime show that RIAB takes after - Younger, if you know you know).

Kang Dan-i (Lee Na-Young) is a divorced single mother who had quit her successful career in advertising to become a full-time mom and housewife. Then a few years later her husband cheats on her and the story begins with her going on job interview after job interview with nothing significant or recent to show that she’s equipped for what is now a much faster paced, culture and tech driven workplace. Luckily, she still has her loyal college friend Cha Eun-ha (Lee Jong-Suk) who is always there for her.

Soon enough she finds an entry level job opening at Eun-ha’s publishing firm and decides to apply even though she is overqualified for the position. She even lies about her education level on her resume to ensure her chances for an interview.

Enter the fashion.

Dan-i begins working at the publishing firm and anyone who has worked in this field would probably appreciate the daily nuances that most outsiders don’t know about, like how the marketing of a book is integral or what actually happens when books do not sell. But what really stands out and is the reason you are here, is the overall style of just about every character in this series. From the winter coats, power minimalist work suits, boots, bags and jewelry, Romance is a Bonus Book oversells on its fashions.
