Go Youn-jung and Kim Seon-ho have been confirmed as the primary stars in the Hong Sisters' upcoming Netflix drama Can This Love Be Translated. The plot of the brand-new rom-com K-drama revolves around two complete opposites who desire to get to know one another better.
Can This Love Be Translated is about a man who makes his profession translating languages, and meets a lady who has quite a different and pessimistic view on love. As they spend more time together, they get to understand each other.
The latest pairing of the upcoming Netflix drama has created a surge in interest and anticipation online as viewers eagerly look forward to its release.
"A romance with wonderful actors": Kim Seon-ho and Go Youn-jung set to star in Can This Love Be Translated
Following the release of Hometown Cha Cha Cha in 2021, this drama will mark Kim Seon-ho's much-anticipated homecoming. The Netflix drama revolves around the relationship between Cha Moo-hee, a top actress in the business, and Joo Ho-jin, a man who works as an interpreter. Moreover, the two characters are in total contrast to each other in terms of their personalities.
Cha Moo-hee, portrayed by Go Youn-jung, is a pessimistic person who does not believe in love and is wary of anything romantic whereas Joo Ho-jin, played by Kim Seon-ho, has a hopeful approach toward the same. Both of them frequently misinterpret one another because of their opposing methods and beliefs regarding love, which frustrates them when their intentions are misunderstood.
Fans expressed their anticipation on X, excited to see the two talented actors share the screen for the first time.
Previously, My Liberation Notes' famed actor Son Suk-ku and My Name star Han So-hee were briefly considered for the lead roles in the upcoming Netflix drama. However, ultimately, the script went to Kim Seon-ho and Go Youn-jung.
Furthermore, the upcoming drama is written by the famous Hong Sisters—Hong Jung-eun and Hong Mi-ran—who have also penned the outstanding dramas Couple or Trouble, The Greatest Love, Hotel Del Luna, and Alchemy of Souls, among others.
