4/5
While the show can be predictable, it also manages to offer some original, albeit delusional plot lines. Go to Full Review
Lakshana N Palat Gulf News (UAE) Jan 22
It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, leaning a touch heavily into whimsy, but despite that, it remains an enjoyable and quietly memorable experience. Go to Full Review

6/10
Taking the cast and the viewer to incredibly scenic parts of the world, visually, the immersion seems guaranteed to succeed. Unfortunately, an unnecessary dramatic character twist and sluggish pacing make this romantic comedy a little lost in translation. Go to Full Review

3/5
Can This Love Be Translated is a moving rom-com about finding one's love language that has terrible pacing. Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider Jan 17
While the first episode of Can This Love Be Translated? is a bit convoluted, but the chemistry between its leads transcends that. Fans of romantic K-dramas aren’t exactly looking for gritty realism in their shows, anyway. Go to Full Review

K M @saD_c1 2d Every time i watch this, I feel getting teleported to a gd mood day as the shooting hpnd at different places. The story is a but new type but Kim Seon- ho, he is super charming along with the 2nd male lead "Hiro" and last but not the least our heroine is so sweet. After finishing this I am desiring for another kdrama with the same main lead as casts. So beautiful. Must watch😙 See more Nelson G @RT75212497 Aug 2 If you're looking for a tutorial on how not to write any show, look no further. The premise falls completely flat because every single conflict is artificial. Characters don't make decisions based on human logic or even local cultural norms they just act like brainless puppets forced into absurdly complex situations solely because the writer couldn't find a natural way to create tension. It’s lazy, frustrating, and incredibly poorly written. Just when you think it can't get any worse, the show hits you with a "plot twist" a sudden, completely unearned split-personality disorder subplot. It’s the absolute peak of nonsense and bad taste. Add abysmal pacing that drags every single scene out to an agonizing length, and you're left with a complete dumpster fire of a show. Save your time and skip this garbage.

Go Youn-jung is amazing. See more Isabella B. @izxpb Mar 10 go yoon jung is such a talented actress, i need more of her!!! See more Idcel J. @idceljmorales Mar 10 The cinematography and the metaphors in this series was so beautiful and meaningful. The chemistry between the actors, Kim Seon-Ho and Go Youn-Jung, was so realistic and refreshing. Especially with micro expressions of Kim Seon-Ho and Go Youn-Jung playing two different characters with different personalities. Hope they can reunite again to give us another masterpiece. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🌑💝 See more Read all reviews
