Don't even start me on the age difference bit, there's May-December and then there's Adi and Imlie which was straight up ephebophilia.
There's just no way an established man of his stature and education could ever fall for a naive teen without it coming across as creepy and wrong especially when he's in a relationship with someone who's got a similar background as him.
I don't think the creators have even clocked on, on how much of a toxic mentally abusive relationship they wrote where the younger one idolises the older person and the older person grooms (intentionally or unintentionally) them into an ideal image and also never fails to treat them like a kid rather than an equal.
I would have been just banned if I had brought up grooming there because [redacted]'s fans would dox me lol
