Can This Love Be Translated? 이 사랑 통역 되나요? (2026)
The scene
In the Hong sisters' 2026 Netflix romantic comedy, this yellow two-story café beside a railway line stood in for the restaurant in Italy where interpreter Joo Ho-jin (Kim Seon-ho) and top star Cha Mu-hee (Go Youn-jung) go every night. The view through the windows was reportedly enhanced digitally for the show, so in person you'll see trees and quiet rail tracks rather than an Italian street.

Getting there

Show this to a taxi driver휘우커피 (이 사랑 통역 되나요? 촬영지)경기도 고양시 덕양구 선유길 133-30 (선유동)
- How to get there
- Take Seoul Subway Line 3 to Samsong Station, then a taxi for about 15 minutes (roughly 6 km) to Seonyu-gil 133-30. Village bus 052A from Jichuk Station (Line 3, one stop before Samsong) also stops at Seonyudong Gage (선유동가게), about 300 m (a 5-minute walk) west of the café, but it runs only every 15–25 minutes. Allow about an hour from central Seoul.
- Tip
- Open 10:30–20:30 (last order 20:00) and closed on Mondays; check the café's Instagram (@hwiwoo_coffee) before you go. For the drama feel, grab a seat by the wood-framed windows upstairs or on the terrace in spring and autumn. The Gyooe Line tracks right in front are in use (trains pass only a few times a day), so take photos from the café side and never step onto the tracks. The parking lot across the tracks is small and fills up on weekends, so a weekday afternoon is calmest. Dogs are allowed. Iryeong Station, where BTS filmed “Spring Day,” is about 3 km away on the same line, a short taxi ride.
Checked on October 11, 2026. Hours and fees can change, so check the official site before you go. In Korea, Google Maps can’t give walking or driving directions — Naver Map or Kakao Map work best.
