With a first time pairing of two of the most favourite stars, fans cannot wait for the show to drop. Can This Love Be Translated has been in the making throughout 2025, but notably, baring its basic premise, the makers have managed to keep major plot details under wraps. But, on December 18, when Neflix dropped its first look teaser, it all fell into place as to why this project has been much anticipated in the K-drama land.

The show follows Ju Ho-Jin (Kim Seon-Ho) who's a skilled multilingual interpreter, and Cha Mu-Hee (Go Youn-Jung), a top actress. Ju finds himself thrust into the role of personal interpreter for Cha. Despite their differing views on love, their interactions brim with comedic misunderstandings. As they spend more time together, their rapport deepens, paving way for delightful conversations and moments of mutual understanding. The globe-trotting production centers on their relationship and their contrasting personalities.Cha believes being misunderstood can keep her famous. She uses rumours as a weapon and misreads lines to stay in the spotlight. Hence, for Ju every interview and press conference becomes a live minefield where one literal translation could spark scandal, while one "edited" line could betray Cha's true self. But, he gradually realises he isn't just her interpreter but the only person allowed to hear what she genuinely means, turning linguistic work into emotional intimacy that feels as risky as a confession. Their initially mismatched pairing evolves as the two characters grow closer.
