Older man / younger woman (Korean and other) dramas

Couples (or at least a slight romance) with an actual age gap (male older and at least 7 years) in the shows, not just the actors.

I have included everything that I can remember. I haven't fully watched all of these. There are actually many dramas with the older man / younger woman trope but not a lot of good ones.

So I haven't included the ones that are like Grandpa and a young woman, or the ones that only the actors are older but the characters don't have much age gap. There are also many Lakorns with this theme, but I haven't included a lot I have watched because they were not that good and I dropped a lot of them. You can find them under the tag older man/ younger woman tag at https://mydramalist.com/search?adv=titles&th=1416&so=top.

This list includes the shows that have an age gap between characters and are decent enough.

I'm truly honest and objective with my comments on every show.
