SEOUL, Feb. 4 (Korea Bizwire) – The romantic comedy “Can This Love Be Translated?” led Netflix’s weekly non-English series chart for the second straight week, the streaming giant said Wednesday.
The 12-part series garnered 4.3 million views for the week ending Feb. 1, surpassing the 3.9 million views of second-place “Single’s Inferno: Season 5,” a Korean dating reality show.
Starring Kim Seon-ho and Go Youn-jung, the series centers on the romance between Cha Mu-hee (Go), an actress who catapults to global fame overnight, and Ju Ho-jin (Kim), a multilingual translator fluent in six languages, including Italian, English and Japanese, yet struggling to comprehend the language of emotions.
It is written by Hong Jung-eun and Hong Mi-ran, who use Hong Sisters as their collective pen name and have numerous hit series, including “Master’s Sun” (2013), “Hotel del Luna” (2019) and “Alchemy of Souls” (2022-23).
Three additional Korean series made the top 10 list, with tvN’s office drama “Undercover Miss Hong” at No. 5 with 1.6 million views, SBS TV’s romantic drama “No Tail to Tell” at No. 6 with 1.4 million views and ENA’s rom-com “I Dol I” at No. 9 with 800,000 views.
