I’m surprised there’s such a strong opinion against Yoon Kyun Sang acting opposite Kim Yoo Jung in upcoming jTBC rom-com drama Clean With Passion For Now. My worry was that they wouldn’t match up well visually, she’s more cute and perky and he’s my image of broody and intense. But apparently some folks are upset at the 12 year age difference in real life, he’s 31 and she’s 19, but Kim So Hyun and Yoon Doo Joon earlier this year had Radio Romance and they had a 10 year age difference with her being 19 and him 29. Unless somehow the 2 year age difference between these two actors is a deal breaker I’m rather perplexed at all the hand wringing. Once the actresses are over 18 they can do adult role for all I care, short of the actress still looking prepubescent in real life. I do still think the two leads of Clean haven’t sold me on their much needed onscreen chemistry and these new drama stills don’t help what with her in a horse head costume when they meet. Please give me the cuteness, I so want this drama to be good!
Kim Yoo Jung remains super adorable posting from the filming set, she toggles so easily between gorgeous and goofy.
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…

The posters are just uncomfortable to look at and if it was ksh on that poster instead of her I will also be uncomfortable.apart from that they just don't match visually in my opinion.
I don't care about age if the actor/actress can play his/her part. If the actor acts an older or younger role than his age, I don't want to see it. It's all I ask.
Kim Yoo Jung looks so good for now :)
Also, Kim So Hyun starred opposite of Taecyeon a few years ago and they are like 11 years apart. Plus she was only 17 years old at the time, so it's not like age gaps like this one have not happened before.
That age gap and excessive kissing was disgusting too. And I myself have commented on it.
Dude, that drama had NO kissing whatsoever, exactly because she was 17!
@nahaluk - yes at least two on the lips that I can recall. Have you watched that drama "Let's Fight Ghost"?
Well to be fair the kiss scenes for that was largely fake but Radio Romance did have a lot definitely.
@nahaluk - do you know more about that drama than Kim So Hyun herself? Because she clearly stated after the drama was over that she was surprised by the amount of kiss scenes there.
At least Kim Yoo Jung is 19, not 16-17.
For me it’s more so visually YKS looks his age and sometimes older depending on the angle. KYJ looks really really young despite being 19.
Also the fact that her costar was supposed to be someone closer to her age compared to YKS. So to jump from someone that seems to match KYJ looks & age wise to someone like YKS is like a huge stark difference.
Totally agree with the hand wringing reference Koala mentioned but that’s just from a few disgruntled anti fans of KYJ who just can’t seem to accept she’s doing so well right now so they start getting personal with the age gap difference and saying such malicious remarks as YKS looks like a pedo oh and it doesn’t stop there even KYJ mammaries get a mention.IU and LSK had a 18 year age gap in My Ahjussi for gosh sakes and look at that fantastic pairing. The stills and posters for CFPFN are fun and frivolous. The mood looks light and entertaining; there is nothing in those posters that suggest otherwise. Unless you are from the Amish community being reintroduced into society then I would understand the anti remarks given but I believe a lot of you who do write these comments are just merely spiteful. KYJ and YKS are a gorgeous on screen couple just get use to it.
IU is 25 and looks like an adult and has a more mature image. KYJ is 19, has had a child actress image and looks younger than her age and is acting with an actor who looks mature and in his 30s. Big difference.
LOL! are you blind or dumb? Iu is smaller than yoo jung and yoo jung has sharp features that iu doesn't have. Iu looks more like 15 than yoo jung. Dumbfuck.
You're an idiot. Was IU ever a child actress? IU shed her sweetheart image years ago. She looks way more mature than your KYJ with her so called sharp features which she doesn't actually have. Laughable.
YJ is fat and has no facial features. She looks like an absolute baby plus she always acts like a baby.
I find KYJ fans so delusional its funny. She's doing well? She's still struggling to recover from her image hit but luckily she has a big agency backing her which can ensure she keeps all her endorsements which is basically just 2 but her fans act like its 20. Hilarious really. IU can't be compared to KYJ who is just 19. Don't act like IU was never criticised for acting opposite older men when she was very young. The criticism is natural and relevant. Eevn KTR, KSH and KSR drama's have been criticised for age gaps why act like the victim when all young teen stars get the same exact criticism for the same exact reason? Just accept it and move on. Why do you need to drag some other community in here for that? Your ignorance towards Amish people just makes you and the entire fandom look like racist idiots.
@Ginger Crunch - just because people have different opinions than you, you cannot label them as "disgruntled anti fans of KYJ". The world is not bipolar like you. I agree with @Fleurjasmin that your ignorance makes you look like an idiot.
YKS looks too mature for KYJ and KYJ looks too immature. They were severely miscast. I can't think of them romantically or sexually together without getting grossed out so 95 % of the drama is already... Unwatchable.
Then don't watch it. There is no need to spread hate.
Your definition for hate is completely wrong.
agree.
Did you just say that this comment is not hate? You Dumbass?
Underage kiddo who doesn't know how to distinguish hate from critique. You seem to be the dumbass.
Personally I couldn’t get into those other dramas because I was constantly distracted by how apparent the age gap was between the leads. I’m willing to give this a try for Yoo Jung though. I’m glad this trend with teenage to very young adult actresses being paired with much older guys is more rare because for me the age gap was too obvious in their appearance and turned me off.
I personally don’t care about large age gaps with women in their mid 20’s and up but teenagers and young adults in their early 20’s who are barely done with puberty will always be somewhat uncomfortable for me. Now Koreans obviously don’t really care about these type of age gaps and many drama watchers don’t and that’s fine, everyone has their preferences and limits.
@TAE TAE and @Tahyun is the same person. Foul mouth! Why do we have this type of commentors here now?
Some delulu KYJ fan out here ranting ?. KYJ has the weirdest delulu fans.
KYJ has the worst fandom. Its basically a fact at this point. They actually enjoy their bias being groped by a full grown man.
@Mina I find people who generalized fans much more delusional. And your second sentence does not even makes sense.
Ms Koala needs to IP ban some people, I keep seeing the same few people spreading hate and attacking other commenters. Practically bullies at this point.
i like both actors. i do think YKS looks much older than KYJ but i think that is partly because most/all posters have shown him in a suit. He is also a big guy which i don't think helps. i will watch though, the idea seems cute.
