The romantic comedy "Does This Love Translate?" starring Kim Seon-ho and Go Yoon-jung has begun its global success. According to FlixPatrol, an OTT platform viewing ranking site, the show ranked 3rd in the Netflix global TV show category on the 19th. It entered the top 10 in a total of 76 countries and ranked 1st in eight countries including South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its ranking rose by two places just two days after release, and the number of countries where it entered the top 10 increased by 29.

"Does This Love Translate?" is a romantic comedy about multi-language interpreter Joo Ho-jin who becomes the interpreter for global top star Cha Moo-hee. This work is a new project by the Hong Ja duo (Hong Jung-eun and Hong Mi-ran), who wrote dramas such as "Master's Sun," "The Greatest Love," "Hotel Del Luna," and "Alchemy of Souls." Kim Seon-ho plays Joo Ho-jin, and Go Yoon-jung plays Cha Moo-hee.

The show has attracted attention in the global content market from its first weekend after release. The combination of Kim Seon-ho and Go Yoon-jung drew worldwide fan interest from the production stage and is regarded as the most anticipated work of the first half of this year.

According to FlixPatrol data, "Does This Love Translate?" ranked 3rd worldwide in the Netflix TV show category immediately upon release. The response in Asia is especially enthusiastic. It ranked 1st in the TV show category in several Asian countries including South Korea, demonstrating that the romantic comedy genre breaks down language barriers and delivers universal emotion and entertainment.

Signs of the show's success were detected even before its release. According to the "OTT Content Viewer Evaluation Report for the 3rd Week of January" released by the market research firm Consumer Insight, "Does This Love Translate?" recorded a 21% viewing intention rate, ranking 1st in the upcoming drama content category. This reflects the public's craving for authentic romantic comedies.

Viewers are most enthusiastic about the cinematic visual quality and lyricism. The locations, which alternate between the vintage streets of Italy, the poetic sensibility of Japan, and the familiar everyday life of Korea, provide viewers with a special experience. The Hong Ja duo's sophisticated narrative development enhances immersion in the story. Joo Ho-jin's character can perfectly interpret six languages but ironically cannot interpret the true feelings of the woman he loves, which serves as a fun element in the plot.

Cha Moo-hee's character delicately portrays the loneliness hidden behind a glamorous life and her desire to convey her true feelings. This work goes beyond a simple romance to pose essential questions about communication and understanding with others, earning it the reputation of being "a masterpiece beyond a rom-com."

Consisting of 12 episodes, the series is distributed on Netflix with all episodes released at once. Viewers who binge-watched over the weekend are sharing vivid reviews through online communities and blogs, creating a culture of multiple viewings. Considering the strong fandom and the genre's characteristic staying power, "Does This Love Translate?" is expected to continue dominating the Netflix global charts for the coming weeks.

This work contributes to raising the status of Korean dramas in the global content market, and its future trajectory is highly anticipated.
