Take Charge of My Heart, an upcoming fantasy romance K-drama starring Kim Young-kwang and Chae Soo-bin, is scheduled for global release on Netflix on October 9, 2026, thenexthint.com reported. The 12-episode series, directed by Park Soo-won and written by Song Yu-chae, adapts the Naver web novel Charge Me by Hae Beon.
Storyline and Premise
The series centers on Baek Ho-rang, a third-generation chaebol heir and executive of TS Group. While appearing intelligent and strategic to the public, he hides a life-threatening secret: his artificial heart is continually running low. His situation shifts with the arrival of Na Bo-bae, a hardworking screenwriter racing to meet contract deadlines. Struck by lightning as a child, Bo-bae lives with a condition where electrical current constantly courses through her body, forcing her to wear gloves and maintain distance from others.
When the two cross paths, Bo-bae’s unique condition unexpectedly charges Ho-rang’s artificial heart instead of injuring him. The interaction leads to a three-month contract requiring Bo-bae to stay close to Ho-rang, in exchange for which he agrees to help complete her romance bucket list.
