Forecasting Love And Weather

A story depicting love and work lives of employees at the Korea Meteorological Administration. Jin Ha-Kyung and Lee Shi-Woo are two people employed there.
It is becoming a trend in Korean dramas always pairing older actresses with younger actors. I'm not liking it but I am a KDrama addict and also I love the lead cast of both dramas.
Twenty Five Twenty One female lead, Kim Tae-ri is 31 years old playing an 18 year old High School student set in 1998. She looks young and is believable as a teenager, IMHO. Nam Joo-hyuk is almost 27 and playing a 22 year old college student so the age gap is more acceptable. Forecasting Love and Weather female lead, Park Min-young is 35 and the male lead, Song Kang is almost 27, 8 years younger. I liked the first episode of both dramas. I'll ignore the age difference.
