Woah. That is some righteous capitalisation you got going on there.

Can anyone point me to a drama with the reverse pattern? Tongue

I mean, the guy significantly older than the girl. Smile

By significantly I mean up to 15 years or so xD would be really grateful Smile

On the capitalization i think he found the ProperCase function in PHP.

Anyway... this what you are referring to is common in Korean movies like "Old Guy" for instance. This is a political statement by the director, regarding the taboo relationship between north and south. (as someone else so nicely put it)

I have only seen in it Kimi wa Petto...I guess I only like to watch dramas that are 'teenaged' based and not older thing.... Big Smile

IDK bu it was only time for it to happen cause it's happening everywhere in the world! I don't think it's cool at all... Older guy younger girl, or vise versa! I think people should stick with their gender and not cause all this problems about a Teacher going out with a student....just an example! >_< But yeah .....it's kind of weird...well for me! Smile

It's been going on in shoujo and josei manga(SUPPLI and Kimi wa Pet are good examples) for a while now. I've only seen it put into TV form in recent years. Why? Probably cuz' it was popular in comic form, so why not make it into a TV show? I'm sure they would do boys love too if they could find actors that wouldn't mind doing it. [/b]

I agree, in the last five years or so, older woman/younger man has become a big favorite in asian dramas. So much so that it's nearly become the standard or chliche(sp?). And, has anyone else noticed that a lot of times the older woman is very brash and even a bit annoying? I suppose it's just going with the trends, really. Just off the top of my head I can think of at least ten dramas that had an older woman/younger man as the lead couple.

Now a days, it's no longer that big of a deal: some shows just say; "Yeah, she's older than him." and drop it. I remember that in Mirai Koshi Meguru, the woman's boyfriend was her junior by three years or so, but it didn't really have anything to do with the plot. Which, to me means that while the older woman/younger man thing is still hot, it's no longer the main focus of the drama writing world; I remember a time when, every other season (for either Japan and Korea) there was a drama all about the "hardships" of an older woman/younger man relationship.

Bijin n bishonen jdramas i remember enjoying:
Satorare
Anego
Unfair
Haken no Hinkaku
Koshonin
Psychometrer Eiji
Golden Bowl
Love Revolution
Boku Dake no Madonna
Densha Otoko
Love & Eros
Long Vacation
Majo no Jouken
Kimi wa Petto
Suppli
Suekko chonan ane sannin
Slow Dance
Sore wa totsuzen arashi no you ni
Gokusen

After watching so many bijin/bishie jdramas, i'm craving for a younger bf. Since none of this genre jdrama's airing this year, so i'm now addicted to a korean reality tv show - We Got Married - where the hottest older woman/younger guy exists. Girls, watch it n u'll b hooked!
