Netflix has dropped a captivating new poster for its highly anticipated romantic comedy Can This Love Be Translated?, sending fans into a frenzy as Kim Seon-ho and Go Youn-jung stand back-to-back, connected by earpieces that hint at the irresistible pull between their characters. The multilingual master interpreter meets his match in a whimsical global superstar—can words bridge the gap to true love?
The poster beautifully captures the essence of the story: Ju Ho-jin (Kim Seon-ho), a brilliant interpreter fluent in languages like English, Japanese, and Italian, focuses intently while top actress Cha Mu-hee (Go Youn-jung) navigates the spotlight with a mix of nerves and charm. Their professional setup—earphones linking them—symbolizes the unique dynamic that sparks an unpredictable romance. Subtle details, like blurred words for “love” in various languages fading into the background, tease a multicultural journey filled with miscommunications, laughter, and heartfelt connections.
Penned by the legendary Hong Sisters—masters of hits like Alchemy of Souls, Hotel Del Luna, and My Girlfriend is a Gumiho—and directed by Yoo Young-eun, the series promises witty banter, emotional depth, and swoon-worthy moments. Kim Seon-ho, beloved for his charming roles in Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha and Start-Up, returns to rom-com territory as the composed yet smitten Ho-jin. Opposite him, Go Youn-jung—rising star from Sweet Home and Alchemy of Souls—steps into her first full rom-com lead as the eccentric Mu-hee, whose overnight fame brings chaos and vulnerability.
Adding intrigue is Japanese actor Sota Fukushi as Hiro Kurosawa, a charismatic rival whose presence stirs jealousy and complications. Filmed across breathtaking locations in Japan, Canada, Italy, and beyond—including aurora-lit skies and historic castles—the visuals promise a globe-trotting adventure that’s as scenic as it is romantic.
Excitement is skyrocketing, with fans praising the leads’ undeniable chemistry and the Hong Sisters’ knack for blending humor with heart. “The hardest language is yours,” teases the tagline, hinting that translating emotions might prove Ho-jin’s greatest challenge. As Mu-hee’s world collides with Ho-jin’s precision, expect opposites-attract magic, cultural clashes, and moments that make love feel universal yet profoundly personal.
Set to premiere exclusively on Netflix on January 16, 2026, Can This Love Be Translated? is poised to kick off the new year with butterflies and binge-watches. In a sea of dramas, this one stands out for its fresh premise and star power—proving that sometimes, the best connections don’t need perfect words.
