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).

Why so many older woman ones? 

My thread was directed at older men x young woman relationships which is what people tend to hate.

There's no mention of the gender in the discussion title or op. And the one asking about recommendation did not specify the gender either. And I avoiding taboo relationship. I mentioned 2 younger women dramas. I tend to remember the one with older women, I guess, as for me older man/younger woman is pretty normal.

However, I can add some more with younger women (including the taboo ones, like with minor or with employee-power harassment of a kind irl if there's age gap):

After the Flower (movie)

Boku to Star no 99 Nichi (with employer)

Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake (with minor)

Key of Life (movie, romance is sub plot)

The Full-Time Wife Escapist (with employee)

The Most Difficult Romance (with employee)

Wandering (movie) (with kid)

When I Get Home, My Wife Always Pretends to Be Dead (movie)

That's why I prefer Jdramas over Kdramas nowadays, I was an avid watcher of kdramas until I started watching japanese dramas with a lot of mature content, make me feel that they are more in touch with humankind. I love the age gap dramas and eventhough sometimes they are portrayed a little bit harsher when the love interest is the woman being older, they endup doing a great job justifying the relationship and even most of the time giving the story a happy ending. I absolutely love "The Last Cinderella" for example. 

I have been watching Jdramas for 2 years now. I will add "The Last Cinderella" to my watch list.
