Netflix romantic-comedy series Take Charge of My Heart alters standard Korean drama conventions by placing physical intimacy and a supernatural electrical condition at the center of its narrative, time.com reported alongside Yahoo. The 2026 release follows TV scriptwriter Na Bo-bae, portrayed by Chae Soo-bin, who possesses electrical currents coursing through her body that shock anyone she touches with bare hands. Because of her condition, Bo-bae has never dated, a hurdle that complicates her current script about a chaebol heiress and her bodyguard.
Baek Ho-rangs Artificial Heart Powers the Contract Romance
The central premise shifts when Bo-bae encounters chaebol heir Baek Ho-rang, played by Kim Young-kwang, who has a failing artificial heart. Yahoo and time.com reported that Ho-rang’s doctor discovers physical proximity to Bo-bae charges the artificial heart, and Bo-bae discovers she can touch Ho-rang without shocking him. As Ho-rang waits three months for surgery to receive a new artificial heart, the pair strike a deal. Bo-bae moves into Ho-rang’s house to act as a portable charger while Ho-rang goes on dates with her as research for her script.
Family Tragedy and Kidnapping Scheme Drive the Finale
The narrative links Ho-rang’s childhood orphan status to a fatal car crash caused by his cousin, Choi Do-yoon, played by Jung Jae-kwang, who called Ho-rang’s parents with a false emergency out of jealousy. In the finale, Do-yoon kidnaps Bo-bae on the night of the TS Group’s 30th anniversary celebration to eliminate Ho-rang as a successor. Do-yoon also spikes Ho-rang’s drink, causing his artificial heart battery to fail and leading him to collapse on stage. Bo-bae escapes from the temple where Do-yoon’s goons lock her up, rushes to the party, and revives Ho-rang using CPR and a massive electrical current.
Resolution of Corporate Control and Bo-bae Power Loss
Following Ho-rang’s successful heart surgery, his doctor warns Bo-bae that touching him again could endanger his life, prompting Bo-bae to flee to her parents’ house in Dae-jeon. Yahoo and time.com noted that Bo-bae discovers her powers have temporarily short-circuited and she can touch people without shocking them. Meanwhile, Do-yoon takes over TS Group briefly before sabotaging his position with a drunk driving crash, after which Ho-rang’s grandmother reinstates Ho-rang as heir.
Unresolved Powers Leave Future of Romance Unconfirmed
At the conclusion of the series, Bo-bae’s electrical powers have not returned, allowing her and Ho-rang to cuddle up and watch the premiere of her drama together. Whether Bo-bae’s condition is permanently gone or simply dormant after her massive energy discharge remains unstated by the sources, leaving open the question of how long she and Ho-rang can remain in direct physical contact without future complications.
