Wrinkled hideous men stay "young" forever while a glowy beautiful actress just beginning 30s or ending 20s are cast as "Ahjumma"-s. The age thing is like a repeated overdrawn clanging of bells for the fairer sex in this industry. I think its a very difficult feat to be a female actress in S Korea.

I don’t envy her." Yeah, but can you imagine the opposite. Actor playing a father, and then in a later role, playing . . . daddy “Although playing a guy’s mom after playing his girlfriend is…a little squicky. I don’t envy her.”

It's common to see a main parent-child relationship in a daeha/sageuk where the age difference is not closely reflected in the actors. It's not gender specific. Jumong: Jumong and his mom were about the same age. Queen Seon Duk: Seon Duk's mom was actually younger. Queen Seon Duk: Bidam and his mom were only about 10 years apart. East of Eden: Only a 14-year gap between Dong Chul and his mom. Merchant Kim Man Deok: Man Deok's father is only 7 years older. Kingdom of the Wind: Muhyul's dad is only 7 years older.
