Age Gap Dramas
…one of my favorite tropes.
Includes:
- Second lead couples (SLC)
- two movies
Does not include:
- fictional age gaps (e.g fantasy being that is like 500 years old, but / or the actors are around the same age)
- dramas that have no romance
- dramas where the age gap is never mentioned in combination with it not being obvious that one person is older
ow/ym = older woman/younger man
om/yw = older man/younger woman
X = did not like the drama
(not sorted)
