NOT FOR EVERYONE, BUT EVERYTHING FOR SOME

As a viewer, I have always been inclined to the K-dramas, that are about love, yearning between the leads with their deep gaze of longing. The complexities of the characters and character growth with something emotionally compelling is compelling to me.
"Can this love be translated?" is a beautiful drama, with brilliant cinematography and careful use of visuals and lighting that almost give it an art movie experince. The story moves slowly following the leads, especially the female lead, unpacking her emotional turmoils as we go along the story. The male lead is a caring, thoughtful person, who ends up liking her, and becomes the very key to the female leads' emotional journey. But will an emotionally and mentally flawed person be able to muster up courage and face her fears, to finally be with the person who yearns for her and helps her find happiness? This is the major plot of this K-drama.

The things that I loved about the drama were, the insane chemistry between Kim Soen-ho and Go Youn-jung. Their chemistry makes you smile and giggle at their small encounters and is able to make you squeal even in cheesy lines. The screen writing makes everything flow smoother and feel natural and cute. The character development and the new twists of the plot makes the drama much more compelling as it is executed brilliantly once you understand their backstory. It may not be perfect, but it surely is beautiful.

This drama is for the ones who enjoy a slowly moving plot, and who love romance with longing and slow burn. It may not be for you if you tend to skip moments and want very dramatic plot lines or twists and turns. However, if you liked drams like our unwritten soul, home town cha cha cha, a time called you, our beloved summer, love struck in the city, where there are aspects of mental health, detachment and overcoming them, with cute romance, you may like this drama.

Had to review because it sadded me to see so many negative reviews.
