Netflix has now given a peek into Go Youn-jung and Kim Seon-ho's undeniable chemistry in the trailer for Can This Love Be Translated?. The platform seems determined to supply daily serotonin in measured doses, mixing supernatural foxes, undercover investigations, and romance with just enough charm to make viewers feel sophisticated while secretly crying over subtitles.

Park Eun-bin and Cha Eun-woo stumble heroically through The Wonder Fools, balancing defective superpowers and societal responsibility, while Woo Do-hwan, Lee Sang-yi, and Rain return in Bloodhounds Season 2, proving that crime and brooding men in leather jackets never go out of style. Netflix is essentially turning screen time into a mildly chaotic, but utterly irresistible, emotional rollercoaster.

Translating the Can This Love Be Translated? trailer

Netflix’s teaser for Can This Love Be Translated? reveals Kim Seon-ho and Go Youn-jung tumbling through a romance of missteps and glances. Joo Ho-jin’s language skills collide with Cha Mu-hee’s superstar life, making even ordinary moments unpredictably hilarious and quietly ravishing.

The trailer gleefully plays with miscommunication. Literal words are meaningless, timing is catastrophic, and glances carry more weight than confessions. Misunderstandings, stolen earpieces, and awkward rooftop encounters in the trailer of Can This Love Be Translated? turn love into a comedy of errors with emotional undertones.

Japan, Canada, and Italy frame the teaser’s romance, with shared earphones and love written in several languages. Each scene suggests that connection requires more than words, proving Netflix understands that subtleties can be louder than dialogue.

With the Hong Sisters scripting and Yoo Young-eun directing, the trailer teases a potentially tragic romance, enhanced by Sota Fukushi, Lee E-dam, and Choi Woo-sung, premiering January 16, 2026, on Netflix.
