[Older Woman/Younger Man] Titles for Man & Woman of Cultures
It's what it is. My comments on these titles are completely subjective.
-
1. Anego
Japanese Drama - 2005, 10 episodes
Took me couple of years to finally found a source to watch it. The synopsis drawn me to this one and my expectation were huge on this one. But it disappointed me on so many level. The Main couple's romance wasn't much deep imo and I don't know what were they really trying to portrait throughout the drama other than immoral office affairs of multiple side characters.
-
2. I Love Lee Tae Ri
Korean Drama - 2012, 16 episodes
Good one. The age gap made me a little scared, cause it might have gone bad. The ending wasn't perfect but at least not totally disappointing.
-
3. Big Thing
Korean Drama - 2010, 24 episodes
-
4. Royal Family
Korean Drama - 2011, 18 episodes
-
5. It's Not That I Can't Marry, But I Don't Want To
Japanese Drama - 2016, 10 episodes
-
6. She's on Duty
Korean Movie - 2005
I wonder if there's an age gap
-
7. Exhibition of Fireworks
Korean Drama - 2006, 17 episodes
-
8. Starman - This Star's Love
Japanese Drama - 2013, 10 episodes
Is in this list because of older woman/younger man pairing and it totally delivered it.
Hirosue Ryoko is indeed love. -
9. Majo no Jouken
Japanese Drama - 1999, 11 episodes
TBH, watched it a long time ago and kind of forget details. Probably one of the first Older woman/younger man genre drama I watched. A must watch for this genre.
Matsushima Nana is also love. -
10. Me too, Flower!
Korean Drama - 2011, 15 episodes
-
11. Loveholic
Korean Drama - 2005, 16 episodes
-
12. I Hear Your Voice
Korean Drama - 2013, 18 episodes
It was a great experience. Interesting plot, lovable couple and great ending.
-
13. Nemureru Mori no Jukujo
Japanese Drama - 2012, 9 episodes
Not your typical romance drama. FL is 40+, divorced and the ML is too young almost 2 decades of age gap. Other than a few hint here and there, not much romance to expect here. It's much of how the Main leads help and comfort each other to relive their pain.
-
14. Natsu no Koi wa Nijiiro ni Kagayaku
Japanese Drama - 2010, 10 episodes
-
15. Blossom Again
Korean Movie - 2005
-
16. Over Time
Japanese Drama - 1999, 12 episodes
don't wanna remember this one.
Don't watch the last 10-15 minutes of the last episode, that's it. It'll be one of the best you've ever watched then(That's of course if you believe in noona romance power). -
17. Botox
Korean Movie - 0000
Never released.
The drama poster itself was emitting noona romance aura, such a shame!
~ Oh! koreans couldn't make it but the chinese adaptation is here in the form of Special Encounter -
18. Plum Blossom
Korean Movie - 2000
-
19. Crazy for You
Korean Drama - 2007, 16 episodes
-
20. Second Proposal
Korean Drama - 2004, 22 episodes
-
21. Ishitachi no Renai Jijo
Japanese Drama - 2015, 11 episodes
-
22. Green Chair
Korean Movie - 2005
For a semi-porno film, this is as perfect as it can get. This one was very satisfying. I probably deducted (.5) for no reason.
-
23. Secrets, Objects
Korean Movie - 2011
-
24. I Have to Buy New Shoes
Japanese Movie - 2012
They could give me a sweet happy ending, but no. That won't stop me from imagining a good one though, there was hope.
-
25. Sore wa, Totsuzen, Arashi no you ni..
Japanese Drama - 2004, 10 episodes
-
26. Koishite Akuma
Japanese Drama - 2009, 10 episodes
-
27. Long Vacation
Japanese Drama - 1996, 11 episodes
Watched a long time ago. Can't remember much
-
28. Kenja no Ai
Japanese Drama - 2016, 4 episodes
-
29. 9 End 2 Outs
Korean Drama - 2007, 16 episodes
-
30. Kurosagi
Japanese Drama - 2006, 11 episodes
The older woman/younger man tag is kinda misleading. Only a episode or two of that kind of relationship and that too was fake(the romance part).
-
31. How to Marry a 40ish Old Woman in 90 Days
Japanese Drama - 2009, 12 episodes
Title says it all. Mini series, not much plot or story to find here.
-
32. Bijo to Danshi
Japanese Drama - 2015, 20 episodes
-
33. Repeat
Japanese Drama - 2018, 10 episodes
-
34. Iron Ladies
Taiwanese Drama - 2018, 13 episodes
-
35. Yuriko's Aroma
Japanese Movie - 2010
-
36. Miss Devil: HR's Devil Mako Tsubaki
Japanese Drama - 2018, 10 episodes
-
37. Tokyo Tower
Japanese Movie - 2005
Has a surprising good ending for one of the couple, considering all odds. But adultery to romance isn't my thing unless there is a valid reason to do so. I'll give it a good rating, since the ending is way better than what I was expecting.
-
38. Seijo
Japanese Drama - 2014, 7 episodes
One of a kind. Psychological tag more fitting to describe this drama.
The ending is debatable and people's opinion will vary for that. Was it a bad ending? or was it the best possible way to conclude it. Anyway, an Older FL and she goes yandere. A treat for any man of culture.
Again, Hirosue Ryoko is love. -
39. Don't Laugh at My Romance
Japanese Movie - 2008
-
40. Powerful Opponents
Korean Drama - 2008, 16 episodes
-
41. When It's at Night

-
43. Goodbye
Japanese Drama - 2018, 12 episodes
-
44. The Bridegroom Is 18 Years Old
Japanese Movie - 2009
Released over a decade ago and yet no sub. But since it's a Older woman/Younger man pairing, it doesn't matter much. I went of and watched it withe the little Jap I understand. The theme was the main reason to watch it and it delivered. So, all good
-

52. The 1km Distance Between Us
Korean Drama - 2015, 12 episodes
Just a few years age gap. Decent.
-
53. The Last Women Standing
Chinese Movie - 2015
Age gap didn't effect in anything, Nothing extraordinary but happy ending. so all good
-
54. 4-punkan no Marigold
Japanese Drama - 2019, 10 episodes
After watching it, I felt so filled and happy. I had to give it 10/10.
But I was awestruck by people's comment in MDL on this drama at first but then understood people watch too much chummy cringy romance drama these days so it's not unnatural to appreciate good one.
Don't bother watching it unless you're not used to slow paced, Slice of Life type Japanese drama. To me, Ending of a drama dictates how good or bad a drama is. There couldn't be any better ending than the one they gave in this drama.
Reason to watch 4-Punkan no Marigold
