Breaking Down the Electric Ending of Take Charge of My Heart

Kim Young-kwang as Baek Ho-rang and Chae Soo-bin as Na Bo-bae —Park Ji sun—Netflix Korean dramas are famously chaste compared to Western TV series.

Though there are some exceptions , most K-dramas shy away from featuring even passionate kissing, let alone full-on sex scenes.

But Take Charge of My Heart , Netflix’s latest Korean-language romance, adds a jolt, making “skinship,” or the physical intimacy between two people, a central part of its premise.

In the supernatural series, TV scriptwriter Na Bo-bae ( When the Phone Rings ’ Chae Soo-bin) has electrical currents coursing through her body, making it so she will zap anyone she touches with bare hands.

Because of the condition, Bo-bae has never dated.

The lack of real-world experience is hindering her latest TV drama script—a romance about a chaebol heiress and her bodyguard.

Meanwhile, chaebol heir Baek Ho-rang ( Trigger ’s Kim Young-kwang) has an artificial heart that is failing.

When Ho-rang and Bo-bae happen to be in the hospital at the same time, Ho-rang’s doctor discovers that physical proximity to Bo-bae charges Ho-rang’s artificial heart.

Even more shocking to Bo-bae, she can touch Ho-rang without anything happening to him.

As Ho-rang waits for a surgery for a new artificial heart in three months, the two strike a deal: Bo-bae will move into Ho-rang’s massive house, and act as his portable charger, and Ho-rang will go out on dates with Bo-bae as research for her script.

Of course, what begins as a mutually beneficial arrangement becomes something deeper when the two fall in love.

Will corporate machinations from Ho-rang’s aunt and cousin, Choi Do-yoon ( Idol I’ s Jung Jae-kwang), or an unexpected change in Bo-bae’s powers keep them apart? Here’s everything that happens in the Take Charge of My Heart ’s finale.

The Ho-rang exception Take Charge of My Heart plays fast and loose with its plot logic, which is to say that the series is not overly concerned with consistency or science when it comes to characterizing Na Bo-bae’s powers.
