AGE GAP RELATIONSHIPS (BL)
I have a personal love for taboo topics in dramas and movies. I’m used to western productions getting these topics right and creating some stellar projects involving these themes but I’ve not found many Asian productions that do these themes justice. Below are the few that I have found and enjoyed.

The second couple have an age gap relationship. One is the older stepbrother and the other is the younger stepbrother who is still in college. Although some viewers are put off by the relationship being ‘incestuous’ (technically they are not blood related), I personally am not put off by any taboo topics if the story is told well enough.
