“Can This Love Be Translated?” was filmed across several real-world locations in South Korea, Italy, Japan, and Canada, and fans have been actively mapping out the exact spots used in key scenes. Many of these filming locations are already turning into mini‑pilgrimage sites for drama lovers keen to recreate their favorite moments.

Main Filming Locations

  • Italy
    • Civita di Bagnoregio, the hilltop village reached by a long pedestrian bridge, is used for some of the most atmospheric, reflective scenes.
* Tuscany and Umbria feature heavily, including Siena (Piazza del Campo, Torre del Mangia, and surrounding medieval streets) and Perugia’s historic center such as Piazza IV Novembre and Piazza Italia.
  • Japan
    • Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo appears as a symbol of fast-paced urban life and emotional chaos amid crowds.
* Katase Fishing Port Lighthouse in Kanagawa provides quieter, seaside scenes with a healing, contemplative mood.
  • Canada (Alberta & Ontario)
    • Calgary, Canmore, Banff, Lake Louise, and the Banff pedestrian bridge are used for the drama’s North American sequences, with mountains and lakes giving a cinematic, expansive feel.
* Around Toronto’s CN Tower and skyline, scenes emphasize the characters’ careers and global visibility.
  • South Korea
    • Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul anchors the story back in Korea, highlighting the tension between public image and private feelings.

Why These Locations Stand Out

  • The Italian towns give the love story a timeless and almost suspended-in-time atmosphere, especially in Siena and Perugia’s old streets and piazzas.
  • Japanese and Canadian cityscapes contrast crowded, global backdrops with inner loneliness, particularly at Shibuya Crossing and around the CN Tower.
  • Natural settings like Banff, Lake Louise, and the lighthouse sequences are used for emotionally pivotal or quietly healing scenes.

Mini Travel Tips For Fans

  • In Italy, early mornings in Siena, Perugia, and Civita di Bagnoregio are recommended to feel closest to the soft light and quiet mood shown on screen.
  • In Alberta, the Banff pedestrian bridge and nearby town streets are easy to walk, letting visitors retrace several recognizable shots from the drama.
