Can This Love Be Translated? – K-drama Episode 10 1

The next morning, Mu-hee meets a young Italian girl named Maria, who had previously interacted with Do Ra-mi. Maria asks about Ho-jin, calling him "babe" (the way Ra-mi always addresses Ho-jin), but Mu-hee doesn't understand who she's talking about. Later, Mu-hee overhears Ms. Cha talking about seeing Ho-jin with his girlfriend.

Due to a change in location, the team will now be attending an Italian wedding at a winery. Nanami informs Hiro about this and gives him opera tickets for him and Mu-hee. Hiro isn't sure about asking her, but Nanami tells him about seeing Ho-jin with his girlfriend. Hiro finds Mu-hee in a frustrated state, wondering about Ho-jin's girlfriend. Hiro tells her not to ask Ho-jin about it since she would regret it later.

Elsewhere, Ji-seon tells Ho-jin that the new location is his mother's winery, and he asks her to keep their relationship hidden from the rest of the crew. Sometime later, Mu-hee asks Ho-jin how to say "babe" in Italian and reveals that she knows about his Italian girlfriend. Ho-jin admits that he was indeed with a woman and even offers to tell her who it is, but she stops him.

The team then heads to the winery, where they meet Ho-jin's mother, Mi-jung, and a man named Dario. Ho-jin stays in the van and doesn't join in on the introductions. For the shoot, Hiro and Mu-hee take part in several activities around the winery. One of the photographs in the house shows Mr. Kim, and Mu-hee soon puts the dots together, realizing that Mi-jung is Ho-jin's mother. She even makes her speak to Ho-jin on camera, and Ho-jin is forced to agree to join her for dinner.

Ho-jin later tells Mu-hee that he's not on good terms with his mother. They had a fight and then didn't speak for 13 years. He tells her to come along for the dinner since she got him into this mess. The tension between them is palpable as they navigate their complex relationships and the challenges of their project together.

Mu-hee informs Ho-jin that the wedding currently underway is Dario's. As they happen to witness Dario attempting to grasp Mi-jung's hand, Ho-jin misinterprets the situation and engages in a fight with Dario until his mother announces that she is the one marrying Dario. They argue about her marrying a younger man and only cease when Mu-hee suddenly falls down. Ho-jin tends to her and suggests that she did it intentionally to halt the conflict. They grow closer as he applies ice to her bruise. Mu-hee is about to inquire about his girlfriend when Dario interrupts them. Mi-jung is ready to discuss the past.

As Ho-jin and Mi-jung reminisce, we learn that Ho-jin's sole novel was about his parents' marriage. Mi-jung was angered that he only criticized her in the book and burned it. She left, declaring that she never wanted to speak to him again. Eventually, both of them apologize to each other and reconcile.

The wedding proceeds smoothly, and during dinner, Ji-seon finally tells her colleagues that her wedding is off. She finds Yong-u and informs him that the phone call with Jin-suk made her realize she no longer misses him.

Inside, the party continues, and Ho-jin smiles as he watches Mu-hee. But he recalls Ra-mi's words and leaves. Mu-hee is about to follow him but Hiro stops her. Mu-hee shows him a short farewell message in Japanese that she prepared for their final shoot the next day. In it, she says she will support him as a friend, which seems to greatly disappoint Hiro.

Mi-jung finds Ho-jin selecting a bottle of wine to drink alone and assumes he wants to share it with Mu-hee. Ho-jin states that Mu-hee cannot find a happy ending with him, and Mi-jung offers a few words of comfort.

Ho-jin encounters Mu-hee as she was searching for him, seeking to bid farewell since the next day marked the conclusion of their shoot. She apologizes for everything and prepares to leave when he stops her in her tracks. He assures her that her conviction that no one will ever love her is a mere illusion and hopes that she will find happiness.

The next scene transports us back to the very first scene of the drama. Hiro and Mu-hee meet at one of Italy's forts, where Hiro confesses his genuine affection for her. Ho-jin, taken aback, translates it for her. Mu-hee looks at the camera and asks Ho-jin what she should say. He abstains from giving his opinion and promises to translate whatever she chooses to say. Mu-hee then tells Hiro in English that she feels the same way. However, a conversation between Nanami and Hiro reveals that things are not as they seem. Hiro states that Mu-hee had already rejected him earlier, and this time, too, she was rejected.

Hiro and Mu-hee attend an opera for which he had purchased tickets. Mu-hee steps out for a moment and sees Nanami waiting there. Nanami comments on her shoes being identical to those worn by Ho-jin's girlfriend. Producer Park, who has noticed the tension between Ho-jin and Mu-hee, sends Mu-hee a video of Ho-jin in the van after the final shoot. Mu-hee witnesses him clutching his head in his hands and then breaking into tears. This prompts an emotional response from Mu-hee, who closes her eyes.

She opens her eyes to find herself in her childhood home and then travels through Italy from Do Ra-mi's memories. She finally realizes that Ho-jin has been spending all his evenings with Do Ra-mi.

Mu-hee visits the restaurant where Ra-mi and Ho-jin spent time together and draws a seventh clover on one of the napkins. It bears a wish: "May Auroras light up the world." Ho-jin later sees this and receives a picture from Mu-hee, prompting him to rush there. Mu-hee tells him that she has remembered everything and admits that she still has feelings for him. In a roundabout way, Ho-jin confesses to her as well. When she remains uncomprehending, he kisses her.
