Even before its official release, Netflix’s new original series 'Can This Love Be Translated?' has generated significant buzz. The highly anticipated romantic comedy has unveiled its first teaser poster and teaser trailer, offering an initial glimpse into the show’s tone and core premise while officially kicking off its promotional rollout.

'Can This Love Be Translated?' follows the story of Joo Ho Jin, a multilingual interpreter who is assigned to work with global top star Cha Moo Hee. As their professional relationship unfolds, so does an unexpected romance. Kim Seon Ho stars as Joo Ho Jin, while Go Youn Jung takes on the role of Cha Moo Hee.

A Love Between An Interpreter and A Top Star

The newly released teaser poster captures Joo Ho Jin interpreting during an interview as Cha Moo Hee responds to questions. Fluent in multiple languages, including English, Japanese, and Italian, Ho Jin is shown intently focused on Moo Hee, determined not to miss a single word as she appears visibly tense.

The poster encapsulates the dynamic between Moo Hee, a top star who suddenly finds herself under global scrutiny, and Ho Jin, the interpreter standing quietly by her side. Adding intrigue is the tagline, “The hardest language is you,” hinting at emotions that extend far beyond words and translation.

Contrasting Personalities Revealed in the Teaser Trailer

The teaser trailer centers on the first meeting between Ho Jin and Moo Hee as interpreter and celebrity. Ho Jin’s calm, restrained demeanor contrasts sharply with Moo Hee’s unpredictable and free-spirited charm, heightening curiosity about their on-screen chemistry.

The trailer also introduces Hiro, played by Fukushi Sota, who appears alongside Moo Hee during filming, drawing attention to the evolving relationship dynamics among the three characters.

In one pivotal moment, Ho Jin says, “I don’t think I fully understand what he’s saying,” hesitating to translate Hiro’s confession. The scene signals the emergence of complex emotional undercurrents between Ho Jin, Moo Hee, and Hiro. Visually striking sequences filmed in Italy, Canada, and Japan further enrich the series’ global backdrop.

Kim Seon Ho and Go Youn Jung’s First On-Screen Pairing Draws High Expectations

With the announcement of 'Can This Love Be Translated?,' anticipation has surged around the first-ever collaboration between Kim Seon Ho and Go Youn Jung. Portraying an interpreter and a global superstar, the two are set to explore a relationship where professional boundaries and personal emotions collide.

Kim Seon Ho has earned acclaim through tvN hits such as 'Start-Up' and 'Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha,' praised for his nuanced emotional performances and strong chemistry with co-stars. In this series, he portrays Joo Ho Jin as a composed, emotionally restrained character who gradually builds depth beneath a calm exterior.

Go Youn Jung has solidified her presence through projects like Disney+’s 'Moving' and tvN’s 'Alchemy of Souls' series, known for delivering powerful, layered performances. In this Netflix original, she transforms into Cha Moo Hee, a global star thrust into international fame overnight, embodying a character who is both captivating and emotionally unpredictable.

The teaser materials naturally highlight the contrast between the two characters. Ho Jin’s attentive gaze during the interview scenes and Moo Hee’s seemingly indifferent attitude reveal a subtle emotional distance. Their relationship unfolds less through dialogue and more through eye contact and pacing, fueling anticipation for the chemistry Kim Seon Ho and Go Youn Jung are expected to deliver.

As two actors known for distinct strengths come together in one project, viewers are eager to see how the characters’ emotional arcs and evolving relationship will be portrayed.
