The key viewing points for ‘The Interpreter of Love’ have been unveiled.
Netflix’s ‘The Interpreter of Love’ is an unpredictable romantic comedy series about multilingual interpreter Joo Ho-jin, who is tasked with interpreting for global top star Cha Mu-hee. It is set to be released today at 5 PM KST.
The first key point is the unpredictable romance between a multilingual interpreter and a global top star. ‘The Interpreter of Love’ brings together the acclaimed Hong Sisters, who gained global popularity with charming characters and fresh settings in dramas like ‘Alchemy of Souls’ and ‘Hotel del Luna,’ with director Yoo Young-eun, celebrated for his outstanding visuals and direction in the drama ‘Bloody Heart.’ This story, which starts from the irony of not understanding each other’s hearts despite speaking the same language, depicts the romance of Joo Ho-jin (Kim Seon-ho), who is proficient in languages but clumsy in the language of love, and Cha Mu-hee (Go Youn-jung), who is adored by many but struggles with her own love life.
Director Yoo Young-eun expressed, “I think it’s about understanding not just language but love and people,” sparking curiosity about the unique chemistry and diverse emotional changes between the two with different communication styles. ‘The Interpreter of Love’ captures universal themes of love and communication, aiming to resonate globally.
The second point is the fantastic ensemble of Kim Seon-ho and Go Youn-jung, who complete a romance full of excitement. Kim Seon-ho plays Joo Ho-jin, a brilliant multilingual interpreter who is clumsy in the language of love. Viewers anticipate Kim Seon-ho’s sensitive portrayal of Ho-jin, who struggles with his feelings as he becomes entangled with Cha Mu-hee. Go Youn-jung plays Cha Mu-hee, an unpredictable global top star who went from an unknown actress to a top star overnight, loved by the world but clumsy in her own love. Her detailed portrayal of complex emotions she experiences with Ho-jin adds immersion to the story. The actors’ chemistry, as they gradually come to understand each other’s language and emotions, is set to awaken viewers’ romantic instincts.
The series also features Hiro (Fukushi Sota), Japan’s top romance prince, appearing alongside Mu-hee in the love entertainment show ‘Romantic Trip’, along with Shin Ji-seon (Lee Yi-dam), the PD of ‘Romantic Trip’ and an old acquaintance of Ho-jin, and Kim Yong-woo (Choi Woo-sung), Mu-hee’s reliable manager. These characters add a wealth of charm to the series.
The final point is the well-made production with diverse global locations and a high-quality OST. ‘The Interpreter of Love’ utilizes varied landscapes and atmospheres from four countries across three continents: Korea, Japan, Canada, and Italy, enhancing the immersive experience. Director Yoo Young-eun emphasizes a travel-like experience by incorporating each country’s unique charm into Ho-jin and Mu-hee’s romantic narrative. Furthermore, he directed the drama to weave distinctive cityscapes into the narrative, allowing the characters’ gradually deepening emotions to shine, thereby adding to the viewing enjoyment. Diverse music, composed to match the atmosphere of each episode, also enhances immersion and completeness.
Featuring musicians known for their OST mastery, such as Kim Min-seok of Melomance with ‘Language of Love’, Wendy’s ‘Daydream’, Zior Park’s ‘Dance Alone’, and Wonstein’s ‘Promise’, the soundtrack complements the drama. The signature songs representing characters’ emotions, romantic tracks, and smooth tunes that blend with exotic sceneries add a touch of romance and leave a lasting impression. ‘The Interpreter of Love’, with its vivid visuals and immersive music, promises a fairy-tale-like resonance and warm emotions.
