Synopsis

Can This Love Be Translated? is a highly anticipated Korean romantic comedy series arriving on Netflix on January 16, 2026. Written by the famous “Hong Sisters” (the creators of Alchemy of Souls), it is one of the biggest global K-drama releases of the year.

The story follows Joo Ho-jin, an incredibly talented multilingual interpreter who is fluent in English, Japanese, and Italian. His life is quiet and orderly until he is hired to be the personal interpreter for Cha Mu-hee, a world-famous actress who became a global sensation after starring in a hit zombie movie. Because Mu-hee is constantly in the international spotlight, Ho-jin must follow her everywhere to ensure she is never “lost in translation.”

As they travel the world together—from the historic streets of Italy to the snowy mountains of Canada—the two begin to clash over their very different views on life and love. Ho-jin is a man who relies on literal, precise definitions of words, while Mu-hee is an emotional person who expresses herself in ways that aren’t always found in a dictionary. This leads to many funny and heart-wrenching misunderstandings where they speak the same language but completely miss each other’s point.

The drama focuses on the idea that “love” itself is a language that needs more than just a translator to be understood. While Ho-jin is great at translating Mu-hee’s public interviews, he finds it nearly impossible to interpret the private signals she is sending him. Their professional relationship slowly turns into a deep, personal connection as they learn to read the “unspoken” words between them.

Their bond is tested when a charming Japanese actor named Hiro Kurosawa joins Mu-hee for a televised dating show. His presence creates a romantic rivalry that forces Ho-jin to decide if he will stay behind the scenes as a quiet translator or finally speak up and confess his true feelings. It is a warm, globe-trotting story about how real connection happens when you stop focusing on the words and start listening to the heart.
