this show just loves to tell the audience everything. her conversation with that old guy in episode one was just two characters talking to each other and saying things they both know just for the sake of the audience. who wrote this?

i always try my best not to judge an actor based on one performance alone, but an actor who really knows how to act wouldn't deliver the horrid performance that the female lead is delivering😂. there's something so painfully unrealistic and over the top about her line delivery. is this cartoon character vibe really what they were going for?

what are the exact ages of the two leads. i need the female lead's human age, not her immortal age

I'm only 20 minutes in and I've noticed it. there's way too much talking and shoving every detail in our faces. She didn't need to tell me why she is the way she is, I'm not stupid. audiences should be allowed to discern some things for themselves. SHOW, DONT TELL.

i don't love the fact that they basically resolved the most important thing in the show OFF SCREEN in the last episode??? why bring up that her mother is alive just to go absolutely nowhere with it. So she just confronted her and she's fine now? i would've loved to see that confrontation. If they didn't want to show it, they shouldn't have bothered with such an aimless twist.

Yeah. She can't compare to the talent of IU or Kim You Jung, but she's good for casual, surface level performances. And yeah, Chae min really impressed me. I saw him in Hierarchy and he was pretty bland. But BAYM shows that he's clearly talented, and just needs the right material to work with.

yeah, her romance was so bland in this. but she nailed the comedy and cooking scenes. she's just a mid actress for me. I haven't watched much of her and i dont intend to.

spot it. it was horribly written

I went in expecting a fluffy rom-com and got a thoughtful, emotionally layered story about love, trauma, and self-acceptance. Can This Love Be Translated breaks away from tired tropes and delivers complex characters, stunning visuals, and a romance that actually means something.Here's my full spoiler-free review of Can This Love be Translated:

true, but she should've done better to reciprocate. half the time he was being romantic with her, she was just looking confused 😂

wow. I don't know what you guys look for I a romcom, but it was a romcom to me😂. was Would You Marry Me any better? WYMM turned into a murder thriller halfway, and dropped the "com" after the first four episodes. but seriously, what other genre could this show be? horror? psychological drama? none of those other genres are featured enough to take the spotlight from the romance and comedy. for me, dramas like BAYM and Business Proposal feel empty cos Al they have to offer is romance and comedy. I'm glad that this show tried to incorporate other genres as little as possible.

I’m convinced that a lot of the backlash against Can This Love Be Translated —especially Cha Mu Hee’s writing—comes from viewers who aren’t used to genuinely complex female leads in rom-coms. They went in expecting Yoo Meri and Cheon Sarang level writing.

all their romantic scenes felt one sided to me. it looked like a hostage situation

he's the bigger star, but she's just trending for now. that's his interest in her cos he isn't a hugggeeee star. he's like a b lister, not an a lister, that's why he needs her current craze to propel his image to her audience. but he's the biggerstar in the scene that he's been in the industry longer than she has, and has been the lead a lot more than she has.

exactly 😂

no i don't know oooo. I haven't finished watching 😂.

yeah, its like they were both trying their hardest to get he other person to say what they want to hear, while avoiding saying anything that would make them vulnerable 😂. they need healing

You know we aren't watching every single second of the plot, right. irrelevant things such as jetlag are skipped.

they need him to say exactly what he feels or else they don't understand. children in need of spoon-feeding

Of course not 😂. But after he chased her outside and asked her to be honest, she should've. I get that seeing Bo Rami messed with her head, but her refusal to be honest just dragged things out needlessly. I mean, why bother coming to find him if she didnt have the courage to be honest.

I always thought it was cute and funny. but it wasn't funny when she missed her flight just to go find him, and couldn't even find the courage to tell him how she felt. that was pathetic.
