Korean Drama - 2014, 16 episodes
the societal pressure was way too much. i felt like i was watching a gay romance from 2010 where the entire focus of the drama was that they are gay and cannot come out to parents and wanna runaway. like entire focus of the characters are their sexuality and in this case their age difference
-

this one was definitely again " being gay is the entire plot" aka the age difference is the entire plot, yet there was so much more than that. yes their age difference and their awkwardness to the whole thing was the plot device but i loved how badly messy this drama was and how perfectly this was portrayed
