Age differences often matter when casting Korean drama actors. But that doesn’t stop production teams. Many Korean actors are paired with older actresses, and their chemistry often excites viewers.
In April 2024, several Korean actors will star opposite older actresses in various dramas. Some play husbands and wives, while others are enemies. Let’s take a look at who these Korean actors are:
1. In “Queen of Tears,” Kwak Dong Yeon plays the grandson of a wealthy family who marries Lee Joo Bin, who is 8 years older.
