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
