nuy Jun 01 2026 10:06 am I love this drama. It's kinda slow in the beginning. I watched ep 1-3 with long pause. After ep 4, it's getting interesting. Like, I love how it's all written and how everything is unfolded. Oh, dont forget to mention all of their OST and how the place the song to amplify the emotion in the screen. My favorite on is Bittersweet and how they put on the end of ep 11. All of them are well written and well placed. Absolutely gonna put this drama to be rewatch in the future. Like, i love it love love. Cant wait the project of writers and director in the future.

Loovesweetheart May 16 2026 8:43 pm I just don’t understand one part is that they got phones, so they can translate to each others what they want to say, when the translator isn’t here, but no, one speak Korean, the other Japanese and they know they don’t understand but they still speak in the void… ?

Bagu May 10 2026 4:35 pm I really liked this one. I wasn’t expecting much, so it surprised me in a very positive way. The main characters have great chemistry, and the storyline is really intriguing. I especially loved the romantic reality show plot.

I have to admit, I’m usually not a fan of the “double personality” trope, so at first I didn’t enjoy Do Ra Mi taking over Mu Hee’s body. However, as the episodes progressed, it started to make sense and became an important part of the story.

Overall, it’s an excellent drama. I really loved the cinematography and the characters. I hope Netflix releases more dramas like this in the future.

Joseph theVagabond May 03 2026 8:28 pm Loved the lead actors and actresses... Goo Young-joo is fast becoming a veritable staple of the K-drama & -movie industries.

The OST is almost avante-garde, some truly danceable... Dance Alone of Zior Park has that snappy ghoulish beat perfect for a trending dancestep for 2026, and Love Language by MeloMance, the 60s/70s phrase, "...groovy man, groovy!", comes to mind.

Heheheheee, kudos to the director and crew, and the lead actors and the entire cast!

Enjoying a second look at Can This Love Be Translated 2026... and it's Groovy Man, Groovy!

Star May 01 2026 12:02 am This drama is So Good. I haven't watched a drama this fast in years. The Netflix translations are Rough though which is so ironic.

This show really is about more than translation of words. It's about translation of emotions, and the journey of two people who express emotional love differently from their own personal traumas, and their attempts to understand one another.

This drama will frustrate you because of their miscommunications. But that's exactly the point. The journey that unfolds of them figuring out how to translate each others emotions was an absolute pleasure to experience.

A lot of people gave up on this drama to soon or didn't understand the depth of the writing which requires understanding trauma, differences in communication styles, and attachment styles.

"Do you know how many languages are in the world?" "I believe over 7,100" "Nope. Wrong answer. There are as many languages as there are people. Everyone speaks their own language. That's why people misunderstand, misinterpret, and offend each other"

The show handed the audience the key to the show's story in episode 3. There will be scenes that will piss you off as you watch them. But they are there for a reason. Without those scenes and frustrations, the end journey of their story wouldn't feel the same. It wouldn't be as impactful.

I've had to drop bad dramas before. But I sincerely hope someday all the people's who dropped the drama give it a chance again.

Matoyah Mar 26 2026 11:34 pm I heard this drama was good, but so far I find it quite boring and FL is pretty annoying in the drama, I have seen her in other dramas which was good, but this one she wasn't good.

The plot is pretty weak..the ML isn't very convincing even though I am a KSH fan (that's why I am watching this) his acting this time round did not touch me, so quite disappointed and not sure should I continue watching. Maybe it is the whole production.. But sceneries are nice.

Sachez white Mar 26 2026 2:35 am Love KSH acting in this series a lot, his acting skills is more elegant and classy! Wishing him continued success.

Love the female lead GYJ too

Kelly Mar 25 2026 1:08 pm The best! Such a sensible drama. Great scriptwriting! At first you might think that it's just a simple, shallow love story, actually it has meaning and depth. It's not just about a love story between a translator and an actress, it's so more than that. It really shows love being translated not literally but emotionally. This will be one series that i will repeatedly watch.

Panseokah Mar 07 2026 8:21 pm From 1 - 8, excellent and often surprising, warm, and funny. ❤️ Starting at 9, I thought the pacing was off, and the subject matter and tone were odd. 8.4/10.

Kdramalady Feb 21 2026 12:00 pm On my third watch already and I can tell you this is the type of drama that stays with you. Loving this and can’t seem to move on anytime soon!

Crystal Feb 18 2026 5:47 am I'm just in EP 5 but I've lost track of how many times I've died inside from second-hand embarrassment for Mu-hee's character... It just kept getting worse, lol.

missa Feb 17 2026 10:00 am I don't know why some people dislike when Dorami comes out. I actually Love the Dorami character. I love when she comes out and I miss her when she's gone. She's confident, knows what she wants, goes for what she wants, and challenges JooHojin. She's crazy but still very charming and funny. It's so entertaining when she comes out (except when she drugs him, that was a bit much)

Anonymous Feb 13 2026 12:20 am One of the best psychological dramas I’ve seen in a long time. Superb performance by actress.

Steve Feb 11 2026 7:12 pm SPOILERS ahead. The first half of the series is remarkable - it's funny, engaging, and super clever. The second half, not so much. The character Cha Mu-Hee apparently suffers from something like dissociative identity disorder, which if played strictly for laughs could have been funny. The disorder here, however, is presented as a serious condition that affects Mu-Hee's well being. It's not that the disorder is portrayed inaccurately, it's that it takes the story in a different direction and squeezes some of the enjoyment from the plot.

Overall, the series is good, but not great. Kim Sun-Ho is well cast and and good as usual. Go Youn-Jung is simply brilliant and one to continue to watch.

irish Feb 10 2026 4:32 pm A little bit slow but i liked it! It is well written and Kim seonho and Go younjung’s chemistry is so good! I just didn’t like the alter-ego plot. I was okay with muhee seeing Do rami but i didn’t expect that Do rami will take over her body but thankfully there were some funny scenes between her and hojin to lighten up the mood. Overall, it was a good series :)

Ddeonu Feb 05 2026 1:51 am Finally, I finished watching this drama. It was actually a bit confusing. But I still enjoyed it. Go Youngjung and Kim Seonho played their roles well. The background was very beautiful and pretty. We were treated to beautiful foreign scenery. For me, this drama was quite good. 8/10

Nik Feb 04 2026 2:39 pm very nice drama with beautiful pictures and camera work. I like Kim Seon-ho a lot and also saw Go Youn-Jung in Resident Playbook, I Had to watch it and enjoyed every second :)

The only thing that puzzled me was the accident at the movie set, I think there would be better safety measures during filming IRL, but that's not really worth a discussion :)

Kimchihgurl Feb 03 2026 9:35 pm It is such a refreshing drama especially on the second watch. I admit the first time binging this series I did not get an immdediate impact but it still keeps me thinking so I decided to give a second watch and try to phase it out two episode a day instead of a full binge. And guess what I think it deserves one of the top 10 kdrama on my list of all times! Been a Kdrama fan for over two decades now and honestly while I can trace some of the Hong Sister’s signature here, there are a lot of more nuanced and unexpected turns that keeps the story really poignant and beautiful, especially the first 6 episode! While I do believe that the last 2 episode feels a bit rushed, the pace on their earlier episode still so strong that I can forgive the packed ending. After all this is a very solid 8.5/10 watch from moi!

Magda USA Feb 02 2026 5:51 pm What an Amazing great series! Excellent Plot! What a very creative story! So unexpected! Love, romance, funny and sad! Incredible great cast! every single actors and actress were amazing! The two lead characters beautiful and Handsome! need to get best actors aware! The Japanese handsome excellent actor and her manger both deserve best supporting actors awards! Loved this series!

Ar first it was a bit confusing! Wasn’t into it, but as I continued to watch,I couldnt stop!

Listi Feb 01 2026 10:11 pm At first, I thought this drama would be just another light, predictable romance. But because I missed KSH, I decided to give it a try. The beginning felt slow, yet somehow I couldn’t stop watching. The story gradually pulled me in, with such a beautifully crafted beginning and ending.

GJY’s character is especially unique. I initially thought she was simply bipolar or had a split personality, but it turns out Doremi was merely a wound she carried from childhood into adulthood. Her deep lack of self-confidence—the belief that she didn’t deserve happiness or love—paralyzed all her hopes, and that’s when Doremi emerged. Strangely, I really loved that character; without her, the story would have been far less interesting.

The chemistry between GJY and KSH is undeniable. Despite the significant age gap, KSH balances it so well. Congratulations to everyone involved, and thank you for delivering such a compelling and touching drama at the beginning of 2026.

Anne-Marie Feb 01 2026 4:18 pm This is a really well written drama!! It is not a light hearted romcom - it was at times, but it was overall a story with real emotions, grown-up love, honest and direct conversations.

No boring episodes, no weird twists, no unneccessairy side stories, I was invested from episode 1 till 12. The ending was satisfying.

I already want to repeat this one because I feel I missed out on so many details.

I came to asian wiki to search up the drama's of some of the side characters and even drama's by these same writers.

pinapuruu Feb 01 2026 1:16 pm To be honest at first watching this drama because of KSH. But, when i saw the second lead, Sota Fukushi as Hiro, somehow im more anticipating Muhee and Hiro scene…. Im not saying Hoojin and Muhee lack of chemistry but… somehow i’m more excited when Muhee and Hiro are together. They look cute!

Noona Jan 30 2026 8:38 pm Is it the trailer and the opening theme of the drama the reason people are so mad at it? I get that the way it's promoted you might expect a funny rom-comedy of errors but I know not to judge a drama based on its trailer.

With that said, this drama is for grownups, or people who understand trauma and how it affects personality. This drama was very well written. Very well directed. I enjoyed the pace and the casting was well done. I found Cha Mu hee adorable and I understood her.

Then again, I'm one of those people who liked Cheese in the Trap (the drama) and loved the ending of that drama. Cha Mu hee in real life is the person who avoids commitment because she fears rejection. In real life there are no cutesy moments to make it seem painless. In real life a Cha Mu Hee is chaotic and probably toxic and not in an adorable way. And just like in real life, it takes a secure person, like Ho Jin, to successfully date someone like Cha Muhee. Because she needs someone who will accept her, broken as she is, not needing anything from her. Someone who will allow her to break up and get back together and break up again,. because she's still dealing with her trauma and all the stories she's been telling herself, for years, about how worthy she is of love.

This drama is Amazing. Loved every minute of it. I don't understand the issue with the ending. She left to face her fears (her mother) and didn't know what mental state she would be in when she got back. As far as I'm concerned, the ending is a very happy one.

This drama regulated my nervous system.

Sarang Jan 30 2026 10:26 am There's this certain feeling when I'm watching this drama, the excitement for every episodes is worth it. The casts are chef's kiss, they're chemistry is just too good!

Dramawiz Jan 30 2026 2:07 am Just finished watching this Kdrama exactly at midnight! I am so happy with how it turned out. Spectacular performances from the ML and FL, both roles have been executed perfectly. A huge shout out to Go Youn Jong for doing both characters, especially DoRaMi, with a stellar job! To KSH, welcome back oppa! A huge shout out to the cinematography crew too, all shots were done beautifully. Lastly, to the Hong Sisters, keep writing awesome stories for screenplay, I will always be a fan of you!

gan Jan 29 2026 7:21 pm If I had to be picky, their instagram chat when she reached 10000 followers and the deleted photo could be more utilized in the story to create more drama. but overall this drama was satisfying to watch.

Noni Jan 29 2026 4:25 pm Brilliant drama. The Hong sisters are unmatched with character depth and the director understood the assignment with this drama. When she receded into herself and Do Rami took over... This is not an easy breezy, basic kdrama rom-com. This one is Deep.

People do create different, sometimes multiple, personas to deal with trauma. Hats off to the Hong sisters once again!

KST Jan 29 2026 1:06 pm Could watched an amazing drama after a long time. Amazing acting!!! Highly recommended!!!❤✨

Hannah Jan 29 2026 2:38 am This drama made me a fan of KSH! And i love the entire cast. It made me tear up, smile, giggle and laugh. Both FL and ML did a great job imo. So glad i decided to give this drama a chance !

Julie Jan 29 2026 1:28 am I gave this every chance, but I’m up to Ep 11 and there’s no redemption. It’s a stupid plot overacted. Even the title is wrong as if the live had been properly translated the outcome would have been different. Only Ray of light Kim Won Hae who is in every drama these days and never disappoints.

mye. Jan 29 2026 12:36 am Everyone saying this kdrama wasn't good are probably too used to the romantised version of kdramas (which is fine), however, this felt very honest? Yes, the fl can be push and pull, but i'd say it's within reason. She's going through it.

The characters are very complex and it could be a personal taste of mine, but I Love complex characters. They make the show feel so much more real. Chemistry between the ml and fl was cute too, and so was the cinematography.

Overall, this was a solid kdrama to start of 2026, and i'd give it around 8.5/10.

One of the few kdrama's that manage to get me out of a slump xx

L1M3 Jan 28 2026 1:11 am A very good romcom in early 2026! I really like this series because the story is good and fresh too. Moreover, Goyounjung plays two different characters with very good execution.

abunaaa Jan 28 2026 12:02 am Great romcom. Don't listen to others who demand too much for a romcom. it's fun to watch and heart warming, millions will agree. First Kdrama that made me finish in one sitting.

Wetz Ge-Rald Jan 26 2026 3:35 pm Simply the best! Brilliantly told – with humor and depth! Love and multiple personality disorder - an arrangement at the highest level.The actors are simply enchanting - the director and screenwriter are brilliant - the whole crew is so good.

Kyles Jan 26 2026 2:39 am I'm struggling to finish this series. It's disappointing to say the least. I expected more from this, I guess

withjoyfulsenescence Jan 26 2026 1:09 am You'd all be surprised how common it is that someone could change their minds about these relationships -- it is a very human response, and a lot of it is because of insecurities, which was perfectly portrayed in this drama.

It may be boring for someone who's gotten used to the romanticized K-dramas. But the Hong sisters have delivered a solid script that is true to human experience. Someone as insecure as Cha Mu Hee interacting with someone as pragmatic as Joo Ho Jin, there's bound to be misunderstandings. That's why JHJ would ask her to say what she means every time she confused him. If someone you like is as confusing as CMH, it really just depends on how much you like them, and as we can see JHJ really do like her a lot.

The end of ep.6 is like the Act I of the story, but then we see a new twist to the plot that explains how deep CMH's insecurity problem really is. When she finally understood what was happening to her, she learned to overcome her issue -- but all of it would not have been possible without JHJ wanting and slowly trying to understand her.

With a backdrop of everything scenic in all the countries they visited, I give it a 10/10 for re-watch value.

Anime lover Jan 25 2026 2:29 pm Not even the ML/FL can save this boring ass plot. I’m so tired of her flip flopping her feelings with the ML. Like Just Fall In Love With Him And Stay In Love. One episode she’ll be crazy over him and then pushes him away. If I was the ML I wouldn’t even stay with someone like that Omg I really had to force myself to finish it.

Rocky Jan 25 2026 6:26 am I love the both leads but they look like siblings to me. Go Youn Jung has more chemistry with the Japanese guy. Don't watch it in just one sitting cause it will feel dragging.

The story is decent tho. I love the Canada scenes.

asanokatana Jan 24 2026 5:36 pm It’s a fun romantic comedy with extremely popular lead actors, a guaranteed hit. There is some twist with the FL family history (of course someone has a tragic family history) and an even bigger twist on it at the end. Go Youn-Jung is outstanding playing two roles (really kind of three). She plays the role of Do Ra Mi very against type for her and nails it, she’s the star of this drama and truly deserves her place among the “new troika” alongside Kim Go-eun and, people can argue number three lol. Kim Seon-ho is, well, Kim Seon-ho. He’s good and his fans will be satisfied. It’s a solid 8/10. Note this *is not* a remake of Notting Hill as some try to claim, the literal only thing in common is the FL is an actress.

Erd Jan 24 2026 3:09 pm For those of you who haven’t watched this yet, or stopped halfway through, please watch it until the end. This drama is genuinely very good. There’s no cliché plot twist or love triangle, and every character is lovable and has a clear purpose in the story.

Yes, Cha Mu Hee is a complicated character, but that’s exactly what makes her interesting. She represents someone who longs for love yet is afraid to receive it because she has never truly experienced what real love feels like.

I really love how the story is built from start to finish. It’s a slow burn, not rushed, and the emotional development feels natural. Huge props to GJY and KSH for portraying their characters so beautifully. The look in GJY’s eyes when playing Do Ra Mi versus Cha Mu Hee is completely different, and KSH’s performance—handling Cha Mu Hee’s emotional ups and downs—makes me root so hard for Joo Ho Jin. You can really feel how draining and frustrating his journey is.

Their acting is so convincing that it made me marathon the drama and root for each character as they navigate their own struggles.

Aozora Jan 24 2026 6:20 am Unlike many, I found this remake of Notting Hill to be pretty boring. It should not last that many episodes. I have lost interest at Ep.6. Maybe will try to continue again since many said it is very good.

Jen Jan 24 2026 2:22 am 1000000/10!!! Best kdrama I’ve watched in a loooong time. The story had depth. I loved the psychological aspect of the story and the dialogues were deep and poetic. There were no unnecessary conflicts either and the issues were wrapped up neatly. I can’t believe people are hating on this. As for me, I’ll be rewatching this surely.

Rose Jan 24 2026 1:58 am Love love love this drama!! It’s been such a long time since I watched a great K-drama. As expected, Seon Ho is an amazing actor, and so is Youn Jung. This drama made me giggle so much, and I actually delayed watching the last episodes because I didn’t want it to end. Kudos!!

Renee Jan 23 2026 2:13 pm I only watched this for the ML. I had hopes that it would be better for him but when I saw he was lusting behind his brother fiancée I lost interest. I don't understand that type of connection. The FL was just a beggar for someone that didn't say he was interested but she kept twisting things around and pushing herself on him. I don't blame either of them but I do blame the screenwriters and director's. I'm not sure if I'm the only that feels it could've been better without the lusting and pushy scenes.

Inha Jan 23 2026 1:17 pm The plot, the story, the cinematography, the slowburn romance and most importantly the chemistry of Kim Seonho and Go Younjung make this drama more beautiful. The OST played along with the backstory make u binged to watch this drama even more. It been so long i giggle and kicking so hard while watching this drama. It the best kdrama opening for 2026. Finally i get out from romance kdrama slump as it been a while for me enjoying thai late rn for a while. Thanks CTLBT?

Suzie Jan 23 2026 1:56 am I binge watched it and OMG... i cant stop thinking about it. Love the story, love the plot, love the cinematography, the actors, their chemistry. Love KSH dan GJY soooo much. they are so good together. For me it's 9/10.

Tandokazi Jan 22 2026 5:40 pm Thank you for this.. best drama for 2026 .. it was matured and had a sense of humor it was good till the end..

Alma Jan 21 2026 11:14 pm The setting is nice but the plot is kinda boring sorry

helmot Jan 21 2026 10:54 pm PD-nim, please always pair Younjung only with a handsome, well-known actor. like Sunho

Setti Jan 21 2026 4:46 pm Love this drama, first time watching a full Kim sun-ho drama. FL is always charming and funny even in Alchemy. Just one comment- hooe she doesnt dye her eyebrows to a light color she is pretty if eyebrow is darker shade. Love thr Jap actor he is so funn

Nikhil Sonawane Jan 21 2026 6:02 am This is a 10/10 drama for me. It is literally like a breath of fresh air. The cinematography just adds a layer of the beauty that this Kdrama offfers. Go Youn Jung has literally exceeded expectations.

Sharifah Jan 21 2026 12:51 am I love this drama. One of my favourite..

DoReMi Jan 21 2026 12:20 am This movie is different that the normal average predictable dramas *yawn* If you're watching this bcoz of the cute FL, then just watch. Don't complain or compare. If you like something different than the usual, maybe this one if for you. My personal rating? 8.5/10

Alex Jan 20 2026 7:58 pm I have never really commented on a this site , even though I have been using it for the past 2 years . This is my first bcus , this drama was just too good , I really liked the FL .. she made the drama so much more enjoyable . . It had everything from the Anxious FL to the calm Ml , the comedy , the romance btw the Fl and Ml weren’t really there like that , the best was between the the 2nd leads (director and Fl’s manager ) . I really liked when Do ra mi took over the FL personality , she was really fun . I hope to see Go yong joon in more dramas

bestdrama Jan 20 2026 7:52 pm female lead could have been others. I’d rate her 4/10 but ML is very suitable. Storyline is 6/10.

OG Jan 20 2026 4:15 pm I think you have to watch this drama through first and then go back and rewatch to make sense of Muhee's character. Her character is complex and contradictory, which makes the story more exciting because of Hojin's efforts to understand her. Love it or hate it, it's out there in the universe now. Nothing no one can do about it. I'm a Go Younjung fan so I will love it regardless.

Ahn Jan 20 2026 2:08 pm Why do people not like this TT. I think it's so niceee. The acting is good! Also, I like it that they didn't put aheavy plot. This drama is light and very enjoyable. I totally liked this!

@Gimbap Jan 20 2026 12:52 pm I don't think the female lead is 7/10, she is 11/10, she portrays the character so well

Lovee Jan 20 2026 2:08 am I really love all the craziness of Do Ra Mi’s character and the drama’s storyline. Feels like I’m going a little crazy too, haha. I’ll definitely be rewatching this drama again soon.

The Consistent oDDity Jan 18 2026 11:59 am Do Ra-mi's theme song reminds me so much of the melody of Sorn's Not a Friend, and it would be hilarious if it intentionally was. I'm trying to find answers, but it's like the OST is Google's only source of info making it of zero help.

VL Jan 18 2026 11:11 am Go Youn Jung did pretty well with her Dorami character. I think she can take on some psychopathic roles in future. I get this It's OK To Not Be Okay vibes whenever the scenes with Dorami are shown. Guess that's why it lowered my expectations towards this drama. What I had anticipated for months was a pure romantic/comedic storyline. It was a little disappointing for me. It felt boring and draggy at times, pace is slow. However, Kim Seon Ho and Go Youn Jung are perfect together and the cinematography was excellent! Such beautiful views that it makes me want to travel to Canada and Italy some day.

Thegirlonfire93 Jan 18 2026 3:46 am Am I the only feeling this way? As I am watching this series, I feel more chemistry between Hiro and Mu Hee than the main lead couple. I want to reimagine this series as a hate to love trope between the two.

edar Jan 18 2026 3:12 am Congratulations Seon Ho for your comeback and to Go Youn-jung your acting really improve. This drama is the best interms of filmography, the scenery is deabak.

Mags Jan 17 2026 12:57 pm So, I didn’t realize the entire series was being dropped at the same time on Netflix. I thought I was gonna have to watch it over period of eight weeks! The Canada scenes were films very close to my hometown and I have to say it made me love my country even more. The filmography is beautiful. I stayed up way way way too late watching more episodes than I should have last night. It is not the Rom Comi expected. It seems to be taking a little bit of a different term than I anticipated. It’s again not what I expected only on episode five

Anon26 Jan 17 2026 10:05 am Next time take the good Japanese actor! His acting so annoying to me, like amateur! It must be good drama but He broke every scenes of episodes by his acts!

Yujin A Jan 17 2026 8:31 am This drama was first offered to Son Suk Ku and Han So Hee, and honestly casting director ate that up. SSK grew in America, suitable for interpreter role, and I dare say that Cha Mu Hee was written based on HSH character in real life. They (or at least SSK) refused the offer, and he was so right for that. The writing was simply horrendous. I dont know why a high calibre actor as KSH accepted. Its either he overestimated his skill to salvage the writing, or his prev agency had him in a chokehold.

PS: the drama may still be popular due to leads star power, but quality wise, its honestly dissapointing. It sealed the deal for me that star screenwriters in SK had lost their edges. Better pick adaptation screeenwriting next time.

Surely_tomorrow Jan 17 2026 8:19 am Nice, finished watching it in a day, no skippable parts for me. Didnt expect the plot twist! Hong sisters at it again, but finally with a good ending hahahaha! thanks!

chloe Jan 17 2026 7:53 am i love it. for me it is like a goblin! omg! i will rewatch enormous numbers of time.

sf Jan 17 2026 7:42 am I jumped right at the eighth episode. Does she have a double personality or not?

R Jan 17 2026 4:49 am Finished it in 2 days…

Nelly Jan 17 2026 3:02 am First I thought it would be just a room com, it turns out to be dark, emotional and so heart felt.

Birth Jan 16 2026 10:19 pm Can someone explain what happened on EP6 didnt get what happened on the railway on canada?

mauii Jan 16 2026 10:04 pm Wow, just the first episode and it’s already so good, and the chemistry is amazing. I’m so thrilled. The storyline is also beautiful and unique. And my smile in episode 2 was crazy too, haha.

Denise Jan 16 2026 6:49 pm Love ittt the chemistry is there I can’t stop giggling ???

Cute i pie Jan 16 2026 3:06 pm Running one and half episodes, It's been a while watching drama that keep you smile all the time,

annaanna Jan 16 2026 8:48 am Just watched the 1st episode, and I find the storyline cute and unique. Great casting as well. I love the chemistry between the ml&fl, and Hiro Kurosawa is so charming. I'll definitely watch any KSH's show, and I also like GYJ, so this is a must-watch for me. Good thing that Netflix gave all the episodes in one go, so I'll binge-watch it tonight. Yey!

maellas Jan 16 2026 7:52 am go younjung a Starrr loved it

Nivia Jan 16 2026 1:12 am eagerly waiting for the drama of kim seon ho........

Yin Jan 08 2026 4:40 am Yeayyy i cant wait anymore!!! My fav Go Younjung and Kim Seonho fighting!!

Kumee Jan 06 2026 7:05 pm I super love the premise, but I just think the nationalities would have been miles apart for translators to be more effective, like Korean & Spanish, or Korean & Italian, etc. There are already a lot of Koreans who knows Japanese and vice-versa, especially GYJ's character is a famous actress. Maybe the story could have explored bigger cultural differences.

Keiko Dec 20 2025 6:21 pm Oh finally Go Youn-jung! waiting this drama since 2023, see you on 16th Jan.

koko Dec 11 2025 11:32 am Wow, finally a release date. Can't wait for the video teasers, concept photos, interviews, press con. Good way to start 2026!

d Dec 05 2025 8:13 pm it's confirmed! coming out next year 16 jan!!

Sav Oct 22 2025 6:50 pm I have been impatiently waiting for over a year for this dramaaaa even before filming began

Rose Aug 24 2025 5:32 am After finishing Resident Playbook, I can’t wait to see this drama to see Go Younjung. Now I’m admiring her more and more… please release asap

Inmo Aug 23 2025 10:55 pm @Moohee Same bro hahahah I really can't wait for this. It's been a long while since I'm crushing this hard for an actress, on the one hand her beauty is too distracting for me to see her seriously as the character in her dramas. On the other hand her acting is actually great. I'm so freaking glad for her role as Jin Bu-yeon in AoS 2, she's adorable af.

Moohee Aug 22 2025 6:31 am Dang.. release this already!!! We need go younjung to saves the kdrama universe. All those latest kdrama feels so boring already. But i believe in go younjung supremacy. Every kdrama she's in is fire

Miji Apr 18 2025 12:57 am Omg! As someone been into language learning specifically Japanese, Korean and Italian! This is really interesting for meeee! I have high hopes in this!

bud Dec 23 2024 1:25 am been missing seonho in kdramas. hope it airs soon

Mari Dec 22 2024 9:51 pm Looking forward to this drama with amazing actors. Most excited to see Kim Seonho again whom I first saw and liked in Start Up and admired him even more in Hometown ChaChaCha. Go YounJung is also among my fave actresses.. really super excited for this drama with both KSH and GYJ.

Ashley Dec 22 2024 8:27 pm this drama screams aesthetic! japan, canada and italy during fall and winter? breathtaking views for sure coupled with the leads' visuals. ugh. cant wait!

I know and can feel already that they will make us swoon with joy and excitement ? Can’t wait to watch the drama! See you real soon please ?

Sandra89 Dec 22 2024 7:51 pm Can't wait to see Kim Seonho in another RomCom. He's really good in portraying this charater. This is my most antipated drama in 2025

grace Dec 22 2024 7:50 pm been waiting for this drama forever. i miss watching seonho's acting in a series...

Angel Dec 22 2024 7:47 pm Looking forward to watching this drama ?

Kay Dec 22 2024 7:39 pm I heard they filmed this drama in Japan, Canada and Italy? Such a big production. The cinematography will be so nice. The Hong sisters are also well-known masters of the romcom genre so it will surely be a feast for kdrama lovers.

Can't wait to see Kim Seonho back as the romcom king as well. I loved him as Hong Banjang in Hometown Cha Cha Cha. He has a gift in making people feel the emotions that his character are feeling. Him with Go Younjung will be such a visual treat. I can't wait to watch this masterpiece.

Jan R Oct 12 2024 8:21 am My ultimate K-drama crush Go younjung!!!

Kdrama luv Sep 21 2024 2:33 am It's filming in Calgary right now!!!
