I'm hoping to find something where both leads are older, like 35+, but there's still lots of tension and passion as they fall in love - I don't necessarily mean I need steamy scenes (though that's welcome too!) just not the "gentle mature romance your grandma watches" that often comes with older leads. BUT, I don't want something full of affairs and unhappy people and a depressing ending. I hope I'm making sense! Basically, I want the same formula of popular k-dramas, just with leads that happen to be older. Thanks!

A Gentlem,ans Dignity - 4 Flowerboys in their 40s fall in love with women the society does not consider as suitable (Exactly what you are looking for funny, interesting, great OST, great chemistry)
