"Age Gap" tells a story of a woman in her 40s who, during a midlife crisis, falls for a younger man. While working as a writer on a rock star’s biography, she discovers a deep connection with him—one that blurs the line between work and romance.

Unlike many vertical dramas focused on light romance, Age Gap explores today's societal issues: the pressure, ageism, and the challenge a woman faces choosing passion and love later in life. It offers a heartfelt, layered story that gives a fresh voice to women in their 40s.

With over 2.9 million views across web and app, Age Gap has resonated with audiences worldwide and was named Best Vertical Drama by Jen Cooper, founder of Vertical Drama Love, the largest Instagram community for vertical storytelling.
