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 [ko] set to be broadcast on the cable channel tvN.[10] 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.[11] 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.[12][13]

In 2023, production resumed, and casting news was announced. Yoo Young-eun was named as the new director, and the working title was changed to Can This Love Be Translated? (Korean: 이 사랑 통역 되나요?).[14] Trii Studio (트리 스튜디오) took charge of the production.[1] According to Ryu Hyung-jin, the Vice President of Imaginus, Studio Sot (스튜디오 솥), led by the Hong Sisters and Trii Studio (트리 스튜디오), led by female creators, Kim Jin-yi [ko], Lee Na-jeong, and Lee Yoon-jung, are both labels under the umbrella of Imaginus, under the leadership of CEO Choi Jin-hee.[15][16]

In April 2024, it was reported that the drama will be released on Netflix.[17] On June 27, 2024, Netflix confirmed the production of the series.[18]

Casting

edit

In April 2023, it was reported that Son Suk-ku was offered the lead role of the series.[19] However, in May of the same year it was reported that he chose other offer.[20][21] In July 2023, there were talks with Kim Seon-ho and Han So-hee to cast for the lead roles.[22][23] In September 2023, Go Youn-jung was in talk as female lead.[24][25] Eventually, Kim and Go were chosen to play the roles of intrepreter Joo Ho-jin and top actress Cha Moo-hee, respectively.[1][17] In June 2024, it was reported that Choi Woo-sung was cast as Kim Yong-woo, the manager of top actress Cha Moo-hee.[6] On June 27, 2024, Netflix confirmed the production of Can This Love Be Translated? and revealed the casting of Kim Seon-ho, Go Yoon-jung, Sota Fukushi, Lee Yi-dam, and Choi Woo-sung.[18][26]
