'Romance is a Bonus Book' finale review: Eun-ho and Dan-yi get their happy ending as series ends with a bag of mixed feelings

In the finale of 'Romance is a Bonus Book' Cha Eun-ho and Kang Dan-yi's expected happy ending is underwhelming and so is Ji Seo-joon and author Kang Byeong-jun's reunion

In the finale of 'Romance is a Bonus Book,' Cha Eun-ho and Kang Dan-yi's (Lee Na young) happy ending was expected, and Ji Seo-joon's (Wi Ha joon)  reunion with his father took an unexpected turn. The Gyeoro Publishing company ties up all the loose ends in the last two episodes, which was expected and hence, quite underwhelming. The happy ending is sweet, of course, but having waited an entire week to see how things would pan out, this was a letdown. Eun-ho (Lee Jong Suk) and Dan-yi remain the cutest couple despite this, and they work together on author Kang Byeong-jun's situation.
