Netflix unveils teaser for Kim Seon-ho and Go Youn-jung's rom-com 'Can This Love Be Translated?'

The series is the latest project from the Hong Sisters, behind well-known titles 'Alchemy of Souls', 'Hotel Del Luna'

Netflix has released the first teaser trailer for Can This Love Be Translated?, a Korean romantic comedy series starring Kim Seon-ho and Go Youn-jung.

The series is the latest project from the Hong Sisters, Hong Jung-eun and Hong Mi-ran, the writing duo behind well-known titles including Alchemy of Souls, Hotel Del Luna and The Master’s Sun. 

Direction is handled by Yoo Young-eun, whose previous work includes Bloody Heart. Production took place across multiple international locations, including Japan, Canada and Italy, giving the series a broader visual scope than is typical for the genre.

Can This Love Be Translated? follows the relationship between Joo Ho-jin, a multilingual interpreter, and Cha Mu-hee, a globally recognised celebrity. Their contrasting personalities lead to an initially awkward partnership that gradually develops into something more meaningful. The newly released teaser offers an early look at their dynamic, highlighting both comedic tension and emerging emotional connection.

Kim Seon-ho, known for roles in When Life Gives You Tangerines, Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha and Start-Up, plays Ho-jin. Go Youn-jung, who has appeared in Sweet Home, Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow and Resident Playbook, stars as Mu-hee. Their pairing brings together two performers closely associated with recent high-profile Korean dramas.

The supporting cast includes Fukushi Sota as Hiro, described as Japan’s Romance Prince, whose arrival adds further complexity to the story by introducing themes of jealousy and miscommunication shaped by cultural and language differences.

Can This Love Be Translated? is set to premiere on Netflix on January 16.
