The new year opens on a note of heart-fluttering romance as Netflix announces the premiere date for its upcoming Korean rom-com series Can This Love Be Translated?. Arriving January 16, the story follows a delightfully topsy-turvy romance between Joo Ho-jin, a multilingual interpreter, and Cha Mu-hee, a world-famous celebrity.

Beloved by fans for his roles in When Life Gives You Tangerines, Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, and Start-Up, Kim Seon-ho stars as Ho-jin, bringing both charm and heart to the character. Opposite him is Go Youn-jung, a rising global favorite from Sweet Home, Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow, and Resident Playbook. Together, their lovely chemistry is already sparking great excitement as a swoon-worthy kickoff to the new year.

Furthermore, Can This Love Be Translated? is written by the Hong Sisters, Hong Jung-eun and Hong Mi-ran - the iconic duo behind Alchemy of Souls, Hotel Del Luna, and The Master's Sun - and directed by Yoo Young-eun (Bloody Heart), known for her elegant mise-en-sc ne and emotional storytelling. Filmed across stunning locations in Japan, Canada, Italy, and more, the series is set to deliver a sweeping visual journey worthy of its cross-border love story.

The newly released poster captures Ho-jin and Mu-hee standing back-to-back, their earphones hinting at their connection. The softly blurred word love, scribbled in multiple languages across the image, alludes to a romance shaped by moments lost in translation and the delicate art of understanding one another.

Can This Love Be Translated? premieres on January 16, only on Netflix.
