What is Take Charge of My Heart about?

Netflix's 'Take Charge of My Heart' is a romantic comedy based on a web novel of the same name. Chae Soo-bin plays Na Bo-bae, a drama writer who can handle electricity, opposite Kim Young-kwang as Baek Ho-rang, a TS Resort executive whose artificial heart battery has run out. According to Sports Seoul, the story centers on how Bo-bae's power pushes her away from people.

Chae Soo-bin, widely known as a 'rom-com goddess,' told Sports Seoul she was concerned Bo-bae might look too clumsy or ridiculous. She said she was relieved that viewers embraced her version of the character.

She also avoided trying to look cute on purpose, playing a birthday scene for Ho-rang with simple, sincere warmth instead.
