Go Yoon-jung and Kim Sun-ho ask Can This Love Be Translated

by Jenzy

Hold onto your hats everyone! There’s another high-profile rom-com coming to dramaland. The script reading stills have just released for the Hong Sisters’ upcoming Netflix drama Can This Love Be Translated, starring Go Yoon-jung (Death’s Game) and Kim Sun-ho (Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha). And even though information is scant now, it’s already shaping up to be a project that pulls lots of buzz.

Go Yoon-jung plays Cha Moo-hee, an A-lister celebrity with a bubbly personality to match. Due to the global nature of her job, she ends up needing an interpreter to help her with foreign language interviews. Cue: Joo Ho-jin (Kim Sun-ho), a multilingual marvel whose range of languages includes English, Japanese, and Italian. While it’s Ho-jin’s literal job to understand Moo-hee’s every word, their personality differences and inability to communicate romantically lead them to butt heads.

Rounding out the supporting cast, we also have the skilled PD Lee Yi-dam (Daily Dose of Sunshine), Mo-hee’s manager Choi Woo-sung (Chief Detective 1958), and Japanese actor Fukushi Sota (Ai no Nai Koibitotachi) making his first foray in Korean projects.

Considering Go Yoon-jung’s other project Resident Playbook was indefinitely put on ice, I was worried it would be a while before we would see her on our screens again, but the Hong Sisters have come in clutch with another epic romance (to the level of Alchemy of Souls I hope? I’m crossing my fingers!). Not to mention this would be Kim Sun-ho’s long-awaited return to acting projects after his hiatus. There are just so many reasons to get excited! Why does 2025 have to be so far away?

Written by the Hong Sisters (Alchemy of Souls, Hotel de Luna, Hwayugi) and directed by PD Yoo Young-eun (Bloody Heart), Can This Love Be Translated is slated to premiere on Netflix sometime in 2025.
