10 Dramas/Movies where you did not find a character's age believable( i.e the character either didn't feel/look/act the age the story claims. It can be based on the physical look, the way the character was written or any other reason.)

1. Moonlight Chicken- I liked the show but i could not believe the ML was meant to be pushing forty or late thirties lol.

So, here most dramas with a time skip where teen and adult version of MC played by two actors and parents played by same actors... Or unrealistically mature children

2. K2 - FL acted like a child. I've heard she was initially written as small girl and it would make sense

3. Eve - FL was played by two different actresses due to time skip 13 years), but no one else changed, it didn't help that FL looked older than her supposed age (heavy makeup). Mains who were supposed to be 15-17 years older than looked like there is 5-10 years between them. SML and FL had 10 years gap but looked like peers

4. Flower in Prison - father and son were played by actor with 8 years gap, and it was visible

Bonus: I didn't watch it myself but I've heard that FL from 30 but 17 (Still 17) was written and acted like 7 yo girl not teen

5. Empress of China - in the last episode the fl is supposed to be old like really old. But all they did was give her a white wig. She still had flawless skin with zero wrinkles and black eyebrows lol

6. Autumn Ballad - the FL is supposed to be 19 but the actress was 9 years older. I was more bothered by the ML. Since they met as young teenagers (depicted by other actors), the ML wouldn't be more than 22 but the actor was 35. This bothered me throughout.

7.Rebel Princess- The FL was meant to be 15yrs old in the beginning of the drama but i did not buy it whether it was by looks or actions. Th actress was in her late thirties and she is a great actress but they should have gotten other younger actors for most of the cast for the start of the drama at least.

8. Royal Rumours (ML actor is 37 in real life playing a character who is around early twenties. FL is suppose to be 18, she's 25 in real life. They are suppose to be around te same age. Both of them look their real age. Watching it right now, ML is a really great actor and handsome, but I wish they picked a younger one cause his character is smart but immature.

Shoulder carrying is one of my fave tropes to be honest, but lakorns make it looks not that fun and good

Yeah, they can be quite amusing depending on the situation, but sadly my mind was going blank except for lakorns. I was thinking Coffee Prince too, but when I looked up the scene I thought, it wasn't a shoulder carry, but luckily someone else found a scene from it anyway lol.

9. 35sai no Shoujo - FL was ten (as a child) ends up in a coma and wakes up a 35 (adult actress now, obviously). While she did act more like a child when she first woke up, there is a part with a time skip (if I'm remembering right) where she goes to the doctors a couple months later and the doctor says she has reached the maturity age of a 18 year old or something, and by the end she reached the maturity of her age, 35, though I don't think I had even been a year since she woke up. This was very unrealistic. You just don't wake up from the coma with the personality of a 10 year old and in such a short time develop the mentality of a 35 year old.

Not sure if this is quite what you meant though.

But bonus in case it doesn't fit. Where Your Eyes Linger, one of the ML's is 30 some trying to play a high school student.

Kdramas are better at scenes like that. They also can be against girl's will, but it's fun to watch at least

Thanks for your suggestion anyway :)

It fits

10. Unforgotten night- ML was meant to be a 30yr old mafia boss but the temperament and looks don't embody that vibe. I think the lead characters were meant to have an age gap but they looked and felt the same age to me.

Someone else please pick the next topic
