Older man / younger woman (Korean and other) dramas
Couples (or at least a slight romance) with an actual age gap (male older and at least 7 years) in the shows, not just the actors.
I have included everything that I can remember. I haven't fully watched all of these. There are actually many dramas with the older man / younger woman trope but not a lot of good ones.
So I haven't included the ones that are like Grandpa and a young woman, or the ones that only the actors are older but the characters don't have much age gap. There are also many Lakorns with this theme, but I haven't included a lot I have watched because they were not that good and I dropped a lot of them. You can find them under the tag older man/ younger woman tag at https://mydramalist.com/search?adv=titles&th=1416&so=top.
This list includes the shows that have an age gap between characters and are decent enough.
I'm truly honest and objective with my comments on every show.

There was no direct indication of how much age difference they have, but since the girl is a student and he is her professor, probably at least a few years.
Age difference: about 10 years

107. Yi Lu Chao Yang
Chinese Drama - 2023, 36 episodes
Age gap: 14 and above.
Personal comment: The show becomes very repetitive after episode 20, at least for me, so I dropped it.

108. Ru Yue
Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes
Age gap: I have dropped this, but he's a vampire and looks like he should be at least around 7 years older.
