Why are jdramas more open with large age gaps than kdramas?

 ymynym:

i'm curious now. can anyone recommend me jdramas with age gap between leads? jdramas i've seen so far always have leads in similar age...

iirc (avoiding taboo relationship):

Jimi ni Sugoi! Koetsu Garu Kono Etsuko (older woman)

Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo (younger woman)

Last Cinderella (older woman)

Tokyo Tarareba Musume (older woman)

Watashi ni Unmei no Koi Nante Arienaitte Omotteta (younger woman)

thanks! i'll try overcome my harsh prejudice on these jdrama posters lol 

You're welcome.

Actually it reminds me that I also have an older woman-younger man romance drama on my ptw list: Hoshi Furu Yoru ni. It has different relationship dynamic compared to the other drama I mentioned before. As Yoshitaka Yuriko always has this cute childish charm in her (imo), and ML who has hearing and speech impairment seems mature and caring (so far, just started watching it).
