‘Take Charge of My Heart’ Release Date, Cast, Trailer and What to Know

Netflix is set to electrify romance enthusiasts with ‘Take Charge of My Heart’. The series centers on a man whose artificial heart is losing battery power and a woman who possesses the extraordinary ability to recharge him. Leading the cast are Kim Young Kwang and Chae Soo Bin, both making a return to the romantic comedy genre.

The concept is pure fantasy rom-com gold, adapted from a popular Naver web novel. With a teaser trailer and poster already released, here’s everything you need to know about the release date, trailer, cast, and plot of ‘Take Charge of My Heart.’

Netflix has confirmed that the series will premiere on October 9, arriving earlier than many fans anticipated. Initially scheduled for late October or November, the release date was moved up following a schedule adjustment due to another drama’s delay.

Viewers can binge-watch the entire series as all twelve episodes will be available simultaneously, each running approximately one hour and ten minutes. This makes it a perfect weekend binge for those who enjoy their romance in one go.

Netflix will be the exclusive global platform for the series, meaning a subscription is required to watch.

The teaser quickly sets the tone, beginning with Na Bo Bae’s secret confession about her mysterious electrical powers, a result of being struck by lightning as a child. This quirky introduction hints that this romance will defy conventional norms.

The footage also illustrates how the main relationship develops, with the two characters reuniting at a hospital where Ho Rang is undergoing surgery to replace his artificial heart’s battery. This scene effectively sets the stakes in a blend of humor and bittersweet emotion.

A more extended look at the series is available as Netflix confirmed the premiere date in early September, alongside a teaser, poster, and a one-and-a-half-minute official trailer on the Netflix K Content YouTube channel. For a glimpse of the chemistry between the leads, that’s the ideal starting point.

Kim Young Kwang portrays Baek Ho Rang, a chaebol heir managing a resort for one of the country’s leading conglomerates. He is a talented businessman poised to take over the company, but his artificial heart complicates matters. Fans may recognize him from his previous Netflix roles in ‘Trigger’ and ‘On Your Wedding Day.’

Chae Soo Bin takes on the role of Na Bo Bae, a screenwriter racing against time to complete a romance screenplay before her contract expires. Her previous work includes ‘When the Phone Rings’ and ‘The Fabulous.’ The casting of a screenwriter who has yet to experience love herself adds an intriguing layer to the rom-com.

The supporting cast includes Cha Woo Min as Ji Eun Ho and Jung Jae Kwang as Choi Do Yun, with Shin Do Hyun also listed in the cast according to a Netflix schedule roundup.

The narrative is driven by urgency. Ho Rang needs Bo Bae to sustain his heart for three months until he can undergo another surgery, which is crucial for his ambitions to take over TS Group. Meanwhile, Bo Bae faces her own three-month deadline, as her writer contract is nearing its end, and she must deliver a compelling romance despite her electric touch preventing her from dating.

This is where the arrangement ignites. Ho Rang presents her with an unexpected offer in the form of an irresistible contract. Her condition, which typically would be detrimental, ultimately fuels his heart.

The creative team behind the series is noteworthy as well. Directed by Park Soo Won, with writing by Song You Chae, and produced by NEW POINT and WHYNOT MEDIA, the project has been in production since July 2025. With a faux contract, a dying battery, and a heroine who can power a heart but struggles with physical affection, this show promises to deliver everything a genre fan could desire. If you had Bo Bae’s electric touch and just three months to utilize it, would you accept Ho Rang’s contract or pen your own love story first? Which of those two deadlines feels more romantic to you?
