Netflix has officially announced production for its upcoming romantic comedy series Take Charge of My Heart, with Kim Young Kwang and Chae Soo Bin confirmed in the lead roles.
This new “electrifying” rom-com tells the love story between a man with an artificial heart that’s losing power—and a woman with mysterious electrical abilities.
The series, directed by Drunk in City Women 2 helmer Park Soo Won, is based on the popular Naver web novel of the same name. Screenwriter Song Yoo Chae, a fresh new voice, will bring the buzz-worthy story to life.
Kim Young Kwang returns to romantic comedy as Baek Ho Rang, the charismatic third-generation heir of Korea’s top conglomerate, who also heads the group’s luxury resort business. While he seems like the perfect successor—with brains, drive, and charm—he’s hiding a critical weakness: an artificial heart that’s about to shut down. During a fierce battle over corporate succession, he meets Na Bo Bae, a woman who may be the only one capable of “recharging” his failing heart, leading to an off-the-books contract that turns both their lives upside down.
Chae Soo Bin stars as Na Bo Bae, a drama writer racing to finish her next romance script before her contract ends. After being struck by lightning as a child, she’s been living with electricity running through her body—making physical touch a literal shock. That is, until she meets Baek Ho Rang, the one person she doesn’t short-circuit on contact. For the first time, her lifelong “power outage” in love might just get a spark.
Ready to recharge the hearts of K-romance fans around the globe, Take Charge of My Heart will be released exclusively on Netflix.
