Seo Ye Ji‘s (also known as Seo Yea Ji) new drama Eve is receiving criticism from women due to the age gap between the characters.
The new drama, which revealed its first episode on June 1, has been gaining attention amongst online communities.
Many netizens in these online communities are stating they are uncomfortable with the age gap between the main characters. While other netizens are saying, there is nothing wrong with it.
The first episode featured a scene where Seo Ye Ji’s character, who is 28, seduces Park Byung Eun‘s character, who is 41, to exact her revenge.
Many netizens are pointing out that the age gap between the two characters in the drama is 13 years.
What’s more shocking than the bed scene is the age gap..
— Netizen
The husband is in his late thirties, and the second lead made is 38
— Netizen
I guess age gaps of over ten years aren’t anything anymore.. Is this right?.. LOL
— Netizen
The second lead is also 38 LOL. The premise really sucks..
— Netizen
Why would a 28-year-old date a 41-year-old?…
— Netizen
The age gap really… I don’t like the fact a 40-year-old likes a girl in her twenties.
— Netizen
There are many netizens, however, that are defending the age gap as the premise of the drama is a younger woman who uses her beauty to get revenge on an older successful man.
Why does everyone hate dramas automatically when they see an age gap…? This isn’t even a romance drama, but a drama about toxic love. Why does it matter?
— Netizen
But isn’t the age gap pretty common in other dramas?
— Netizen
I’m not too concerned about the age gap, but the dialogue is just bad…
— Netizen
The age gap seems appropriate since it’s about a successful man who falls for beauty.
— Netizen
The age gap is fine !!! Even in real life, you shouldn’t say anything bad about an age gap.
— Netizen
Where do you stand in the debate? Does the age gap make you uncomfortable? Or is it justifiable given the premise of the drama?
