Actors Kim Seon Ho and Go Youn Jung (also romanized as Go Yoon Jung) were spotted filming their new Netflix K-Drama.
This is a big comeback for Kim Seon Ho, as his last K-Drama was Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, which as it concluded, he became subject to scandal. At the time, he was also a cast member of the hit KBS 2TV variety show 2 Days & 1 Night, which followed celebrity men as they took trips across South Korea. He departed after the scandal and slowly returned to entertainment after Dispatch revealed the truth.
Kim Seon Ho’s first significant acting role since then was in the play Touching the Void and the film The Childe (originally titled Sad Tropics). The actor even held his first-ever fanmeeting in 2022. Most recently, he appeared in BIGBANG‘s Daesung‘s new MV and made his variety TV comeback on Mukbo Brothers 2.

Recently, Netflix announced that Kim Seon Ho will star in the new Netflix original K-Drama, Can This Love Be Translated? as a translator, Joo Ho Jin, alongside Go Youn Jung, known for Alchemy of Souls, Sweet Home, and Moving. The script is written by the Hong sisters, who are famous for many beloved K-Dramas: My Girl, You’re Beautiful, My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho, The Greatest Love, Master’s Sun, A Korean Odyssey, Hotel del Luna, and Alchemy of Souls. Yoo Young Eun, who has worked on several dramas, such as Descendants of the Sun, will serve as director.
According to news coverage on December 5, 2019, the Hong sisters (Hong Jung-eun and Hong Mi-ran) were initially preparing a drama with the working title Can This Person Interpret? (Korean: 이 사람 통역이 되나요?) in collaboration with Director Park Jun-hwa set to be broadcast on the cable channel tvN. The working title was later revised to Interpretation of Salvation(Korean: 구원의 통역), and the overseas shooting location was said to be in China. However, due to the impact of COVID-19, the project faced delays, and no further updates were provided. It is worth noting that the Hong Sisters and Park later worked together on a different drama titled Alchemy of Souls in 2021 and 2022.
