Couples from Popular K-dramas with Huge Age Gaps in Real Life

AKP STAFF

K-dramas have gained immense popularity worldwide for their captivating storylines, compelling characters, and, of course, the chemistry between the lead actors. It is intriguing to discover that some of these K-drama couples share a significant age gap in real life.

Let’s delve into such reel couples with an age gap of ten years or more in real life.


MR. SUNSHINE (20 YEARS)

The lead couple of the hit K-drama "Mr. Sunshine," Lee Byung-hun (1970) and Kim Tae-ri (1990), share a remarkable 20-year age gap in real life, yet their on-screen chemistry transcends this significant difference.


MARRIAGE CONTRACT (17 YEARS)

In the K-drama "Marriage Contract," the lead actors, Lee Seo-jin (1971) and UEE (1988), bring their unique chemistry to the screen despite a notable 17-year age gap in real life.


OUR BLUES (14 YEARS)

The reel couple in the hit K-drama "Our Blues," portrayed by Lee Byung-hun (1970) and Shin Min-ah (1984), has captured the hearts of viewers despite having a 14-year age gap in real life.


THE GLORY (13 YEARS)

The on-screen chemistry between Song Hye-kyo (1981) and Lee Do-hyun (1995) in the popular K-drama "The Glory" has captivated audiences, and the significant 13-year age gap between the pair isn’t even noticeable.


GOBLIN (12 YEARS)

“Goblin” was a massive hit, thanks in no small part to the incredible chemistry between its lead actors, Gong Yoo (1979) and Kim Go-eun (1991). The age gap between the two is twelve years.


ENCOUNTER (12 YEARS)

“Encounter" brought together two incredibly talented actors, Song Hye-kyo and Park Bo-gum. Song Hye Kyo was born in 1981, while Park Bo Gum was born in 1993, making a twelve-year difference.


SONG OF THE BANDITS (11 YEARS)

In Netflix's latest release, "Song of the Bandits," the chemistry between Kim Nam-gil (1980) and Girl Generation’s Seohyun (1991) is nothing short of magical, and it's all the more remarkable given the 11-year age gap between them.

Actors are good at acting, they're paid to tell a story in a way that is believable. Why would it be a surprise that a huge age difference is irrelevant to the chemistry their characters are portraying?
