Age casting in K-dramas

Age casting in Korean dramas often reflects a mix of cultural norms and practical considerations. While there isn't a strict age limit for actors, there's a tendency to cast younger actresses with older actors, sometimes even when the characters are supposed to be close in age. This can be attributed to factors like cost-cutting, the perceived desirability of older male actors in lead roles, and the popularity of younger idols, which can draw in more viewers.
