What’s Age Got to Do With It? K-Drama Couples with Huge Age Gaps and Amazing Chemistry

Have you ever watched a K-Drama where you liked the main couple so much that you wanted to know more about them and were surprised to discover that they have huge age gaps? BECAUSE SAME. I went through that when I was first getting into K-Dramas.

I know big age gaps can be uncomfortable for some people, and they don’t like watching K-Dramas with couples that have big age gaps from one another. Because of that, they’ll miss the chance to see that the couple actually does have spectacular chemistry and that their age gaps aren’t noticeable!

Let’s meet these K-Drama couples who proved that age is just a number!

“Find Me in Your Memory” Couple – 13 Years

“Find Me in Your Memory‘s” Kim Dong Wook and Mun Ka Young are the first K-Drama couple that comes to mind when I think of couples with large age gaps yet have wonderful chemistry. They are an iconic K-Drama ship that is loved by almost everyone. I swear their chemistry, on and off-screen, is one of the best I have seen!

If you want to check out their drama, it’s a love story between a man who recalls every second of his life and a woman who forgot her tragic past to live. So not only do the leads have amazing chemistry, but the drama is also interesting to watch!

“Suspicious Partner” – 8 years

Another personal favorite of mine is Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun’s chemistry in the mystery romance “Suspicious Partner.” I loved their playful banter, which shows their incredible chemistry as coworkers turned into lovers in a law firm!

“Young Lady and Gentleman” Couple – 7 years

I know a lot hasn’t moved on from this lovely couple! Who would have thought that we’ll see amazing chemistry between a widowed father of 3 kids and the live-in tutor? The fact that Ji Hyun Woo and Lee Se Hee took home the Best Couple award at the “2021 KBS Drama Awards” shows just how well-loved this ship is in South Korea!

“My Secret, Terrius” Couple – 14 years

There are two things I loved the most in “My Secret, Terrius!” First, it’s the best drama material, and second, So Ji Sub and Jung In Sun have overflowing chemistry! I really liked the drama’s concept that it’s about a single mom and her handsome neighbor who turned out to be a top NIS agent!

“Radio Romance” Couple – 10 years

Kim So Hyun has worked with a lot of guys years older than her, and almost everyone has amazing chemistry. One of my favorite Kim So Hyun pairings is the “Radio Romance” couple. She and Yoon Du Jun have this one-of-a-kind chemistry that I really enjoyed while watching this musical romance drama.

“I Hear Your Voice” Couple – 10 Years

Lee Bo Young and Lee Jong Suk of “I Hear Your Voice” surely has chemistry despite their 10 years of age differences. I really loved the drama’s main couple, a tax lawyer and a man who has the ability to read people’s thoughts! It’s really cool how the two worked together to solve different cases!

“Marriage Contract” Couple – 17 Years

A 17 year age difference might be huge for others, but Lee Seo Jin and UEE of “Marriage Contract” managed to make it work! The two played husband and wife, and their chemistry is one of the things that made this drama a lot better!

“Your House Helper” Couple – 13 years

This show stars one of my favorite idols turned actress, WJSN Bona, and Ha Seok Jin! Despite the 13 year age difference, the two have remarkable chemistry in this life-healing drama about a housekeeper and an intern!

“Doctors” Couple – 9 years

Despite watching this drama years ago, I still remember how I fell in love with Kim Rae Won and Park Shin Hye in their drama “Doctors!” I think a lot of people have already watched this drama, and to those who haven’t, I highly recommend this medical drama about neurosurgeons!

“Two Cops” Couple – 14 years

A drama with my favorite actor and actress! We really can’t deny that Jo Jong Suk is the king of chemistry, so despite having a 14 year age difference with Lee Hye Ri, they both made it work! I really enjoyed how this is a drama between a dedicated violent crime detective and a feisty rookie reporter!

“When a Man Falls in Love” Couple – 14 Years

I know the “rich man poor woman”  trope  has been used a lot of times, but watching Song Seung Heon and Shin Se Kyung in “When a Man Falls in Love” is a different experience! The two have such fantastic chemistry!

“My Lovely Girl” – 12 years

One thing I remembered a lot about this drama is how I enjoyed the female lead’s (Krystal) chemistry both with the main lead (Rain) and the supporting lead (Myung Soo)! “My Lovely Girl” is a drama about idols, and I really enjoyed how the main couple are both singers and songwriters!

“Goblin” Couple – 12 years

This list wouldn’t be complete without Gong Yoo and Kim Go Eun of “Goblin.” These two proved that age is just a number, and their chemistry is top-notch, which makes their fantasy drama one of the best!
