Viewers have had enough of dramas featuring big age gaps


Article: "Stop making relationships between young women and older men!" Age difference controversy for the drama 'My Ajusshi'

1. [+2,393, -131] I have no problem with the drama if the ajusshi remains an ajusshi until the end and not a romantic interest

2. [+2,099, -146] It's hard to focus on the drama when there's a huge age gap between the couple. Plots like that are just plain boring nowadays too.

3. [+2,041, -165] Men in their forties better stop dreaming of getting into somes with women in their twenties

4. [+220, -29] It's because of dramas like this that old farts think they have a chance tsk tsk

5. [+194, -24] I'm all for it if the love line is between the woman and the ajusshi's son

6. [+184, -20] Just because men see celebrity men marrying women 13-15 years younger than them, they think they have a chance too ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ without realizing that these men own million dollar apartments and live in a different world, which other men will be quick to put down but immediately praise in other articles when they're marrying younger women ㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+137, -19] Stories like this are only pulled off by actors like Gong Yoo. It's annoying when dramas give hope to ajusshis.

8. [+94, -13] Everything aside, it just makes the drama uncomfortable. I can barely stand watching a 10 year age gap, let alone 20 years... doesn't matter how good the plot is.

9. [+79, -13] In real life, there are barely any opportunities for women in their twenties to get to know ajusshis in their forties in intimate ways like this;; ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+55, -8] While we're at it, can we get rid of chaebol stories too. Let's get a fresh love story between a female chaebol and a salaryman making $2,500 a month.

11. [+39, -5] The thought of it seriously makes me throw up... why would a young woman date someone 20 years older than her when she has plenty of options with men her own age. As someone in their twenties, I feel uncomfortable when I go from seeing people my age to ajusshis in their forties. Everything about them from their skin and stuff is so different...

12. [+36, -3] Reminds me of Yoona and Lee Bum Soo's drama. That was so wrong, still makes me mad thinking about it.

13. [+30, -8] Why do dramas assume that young women would ever go for wrinkly skinned, balding men with ET bodies and smelly breaths when we have plenty of cute and energetic men in their twenties around us???
