Streaming details of K-drama Can This Love Be Translated?

Today (December 10), the makers also confirmed when and where viewers can stream the series. Can This Love Be Translated? is set to premiere on Netflix in India on January 16, 2026, making it one of the platform’s most anticipated early-year releases. Given its global storyline, multilingual characters, and star-driven cast, the drama is expected to attract viewers from several countries right from day one.






The series revolves around Ju Ho-jin, played by Kim Seon-ho, a multilingual translator who speaks several languages, including English, Japanese, and Italian. Despite being someone who effortlessly interprets words for others, Ho-jin begins to struggle when emotions enter the picture. His quiet world shifts when he joins a global TV programme that follows celebrities and interpreters as they travel together.

Go Youn-jung stars opposite him as Cha Mu-hee, an actress who unexpectedly becomes an international sensation thanks to her role as a zombie in a hit project. Her character is warm yet guarded, and as she spends more time with Ho-jin while filming the travel-based show, the lines between professional partnership and emotional vulnerability begin to blur.

Their bond is complicated further by Japanese actor Sota Fukushi, who plays Hiro Kurosawa, a charming performer who joins Mu-hee on a televised dating show. His presence adds another layer to the already fragile connection between the translator and the global star, mirroring the way messages and feelings, can get lost, twisted or misunderstood even when spoken in the same language.
