One of the top stars in South Korean entertainment industry with globally popular K-dramas such as Good Manager, Start Up and Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, Seon-ho says he, co-star Go Youn-jung, and the drama team have tried their best to create a show that meets the expectation of fans. "I just feel so grateful for all the Indian fans showing us so much love and support.

 

I think as an actor, it is the most rewarding and exciting thing to know that people are waiting for your next work and they're curious about what you're doing. I just feel very proud, excited and happy because of that," the actor told PTI in an interview. "We did our very best in creating this drama series in order to respond to that love. And now it's just days away and you will be able to watch it. We poured everything into it to make sure we didn't let you down. I think I can dare say you will not be disappointed," he added.

 

The new show is written by Hong Jung-eun and Hong Mi-ran, famous as the Hong sisters and known for writing popular romantic and fantasy K-dramas such as You're Beautiful, My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho, Hotel del Luna and Alchemy of Souls. It is directed by Yoo Young-eun. Streaming on Netflix, Can This Love Be Translated? follows an unexpected blossoming relationship between a multilingual interpreter, Joo Ho-jin (Kim Seon-ho) and a global celebrity, Cha Mu-hee (Go Youn-jung) as they travel the world filming a dating show with the Japanese actor Hiro (Sota Fukushi).

 

As Ho-jin is tasked to translate between Mu-hee and Hiro, he unexpectedly finds his own heart hanging in the balance, as per the official logline of the show. Seon-ho became an internet sensation when his dimpled smile from IU and Park Bo-gumstarrer slice-of-life drama When Life GivesYou Tangerines became viral with fans across the globe recreating the moment. The actor said it was a strange feeling to see fans reenacting his reaction from the drama. In the scene, his character sees his girlfriend (IU) in a wedding dress moments before their marriage and comes up with a heartwarming reaction.

 

"I did not expect that particular scene with my smile in When Life Gives You Tangerines to go viral at all. When I realised how much love people were showing for that scene, and also the many challenges that people were doing, it was a very strange feeling. To think that something that you did in character for a drama series that is so widely loved, to be that much loved, become viral, and have my face attached to all of those challenges, was a new feeling that I hadn't really experienced before," he concluded.
