AGE GAP RELATIONSHIPS (BL)
I have a personal love for taboo topics in dramas and movies. I’m used to western productions getting these topics right and creating some stellar projects involving these themes but I’ve not found many Asian productions that do these themes justice. Below are the few that I have found and enjoyed.
-
1. Old Fashion Cupcake
Japanese Drama - 2022, 5 episodes
There is a decade age difference between the leads. One is 29 and the other is 39 year’s old.
-
2. Miracle
Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 13 episodes
Teacher - high school student relationship.
-
3. One Room Angel
Japanese Drama - 2023, 6 episodes
The angel is the age of a teenager.
-
4. Gray Currents
Korean Drama - 2024, 5 episodes
-
5. HIStory2: Right or Wrong
Taiwanese Special - 2018, 8 episodes
College student and college professor relationship.
-
6. HIStory4: Close to You
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 20 episodes
The second couple have an age gap relationship. One is the older stepbrother and the other is the younger stepbrother who is still in college. Although some viewers are put off by the relationship being ‘incestuous’ (technically they are not blood related), I personally am not put off by any taboo topics if the story is told well enough.
