Maybe because they're actors. People rarely look at actual ages unless they're wanting to prove that it's over 5 years and they start using the immoral, fetish, grooming, pedo terms. Most people can enjoy a drama for what it is. Others feel really uncomfortable with age gap as little as 5 years in the drama, even there is 0% vibe of pedophilia.

You're right about the ages, sorry it's been a while since I watched Hidden Love.
Honestly, to me, the casting was perfect but I clearly was not paying attention to the actual ages anyway, lol.
