I roll my eyes a little over all the fuss about Ai Mi co-starring with older actors because she's 17. (Like in Key to the Phoenix, where Hou Minghao is 28.)

1) It's not a real romance or relationship, you guys. This is 100% fictional. They're both experienced actors.

2) Cdramas are so ridiculously socially conservative that any romantic scenes will likely be so G-rated you can watch them with your pearl-clutching grandma.

3) There are very few established male leads her own age. If she doesn't act with older men, she won't get any decent scripts and her career will stall.

I do feel like some people have gone so far on the "dating a younger person is problematic" train that it's reeeaaaally gotten a little ridiculous, and it doesn't surprise me that there is this kind of reaction about the actors. I saw someone sincerely making the case that a 22 year old was significantly younger than a 24 year old. They were getting roasted, but that was still someone's genuine belief, that a 2 year age difference in your 20s is bad. Or that it's grooming, which I have also seen. I totally agree that there are people, most often men, who deliberately seek out younger women who are more likely to be inexperienced so that they can control them, but let's be rational, instead of locking up an 18-year-old who doesn't break up with their 17-year-old partner.

I'd totally get it if she were a 17 year old dating a 28+ year old, but as an acting job with no sex scenes where at most she might have to do a chaste cdrama kiss, i.e. straight lip to lip contact, no tongue or hard snogging? I think people are making too much out of it.

I could understand if she married a 27y/o. having older coworkers is fine lmao.
