Netflix has released the first official teaser and poster for Take Charge of My Heart, confirming an October 9, 2026 premiere. The Korean romantic comedy stars Kim Young-kwang as a corporate heir with an artificial heart and Chae Soo-bin as the only woman who can recharge it.
The new preview turns that medical-fantasy hook into a three-month contract: Baek Ho-rang needs Na Bo-bae close enough to keep his replacement heart working, while the romance writer needs real dating experience before her own deadline expires.

When does Take Charge of My Heart premiere?
Take Charge of My Heart premieres Friday, October 9, 2026, on Netflix. Netflix announced the date with the teaser and poster on September 10.
No exact launch hour or episode-release pattern has been announced. The current Netflix material also does not publish an episode count or a territory-by-territory availability list, so the date should not be expanded into a universal local time or an all-at-once rollout claim.
Netflix’s public title page is already live with the teaser, synopsis, two lead performers and creators. Maturity badges on that page can vary by visitor locale; no single badge is treated here as a worldwide rating.
What is Take Charge of My Heart about?
Baek Ho-rang is a third-generation chaebol heir and executive director at one of the country’s leading resorts. He is positioned as a serious candidate to take over TS Group, but his carefully controlled public image hides an artificial heart whose battery has become his most urgent weakness.
Na Bo-bae developed electrical powers after being struck by lightning as a child. Ordinary touch can shock other people, forcing her to wear gloves and making dating especially difficult. Professionally, she is a screenwriter facing a deadline to complete a convincing romance.
Their unusual compatibility appears after an accidental kiss: unlike everyone else, Ho-rang is not shocked by Bo-bae. She sees him as a rare “human rubber glove,” but he initially avoids her. The connection becomes essential when a storm causes a hospital blackout during his battery-replacement procedure.
What does the official teaser reveal?
The blackout leaves Ho-rang’s new heart battery running low, and it recharges only when Bo-bae is near him. Netflix frames that discovery as the practical reason their relationship begins rather than evidence that either character already understands the rules behind her power.
Ho-rang needs three months of help until he can receive another surgery. Bo-bae has the same amount of time before her writing contract expires. He proposes an exchange: she keeps him charged through physical contact, and he helps her complete a romance bucket list.
The poster visualizes the arrangement with the leads holding hands as pink sparks and a charging-heart symbol appear above them. The official footage establishes the contract, hospital incident and central attraction without revealing whether the arrangement succeeds or how the larger corporate struggle is resolved.
Who stars in the Netflix series?
Kim Young-kwang plays Baek Ho-rang, the TS Resort executive with the artificial heart. Netflix describes him as gifted at strategy and execution, capable of competing for group leadership despite the medical secret beneath his composed exterior.
Chae Soo-bin plays Na Bo-bae, a romance screenwriter whose body conducts electricity. Her inability to touch people safely has kept her from the dating experience her work now demands.
Those are the two performers named on Netflix’s current English-language title page and newsroom material. A complete supporting cast and character list has not yet been published through the official sources used for this report.
Is Take Charge of My Heart based on a web novel?
Yes. The series is based on Haebeon’s Naver web novel Charge Me Up. Netflix uses Take Charge of My Heart as the screen title and identifies the underlying work in its production credits.
The adaptation keeps the headline battery-and-electricity mechanism in the official synopsis. Netflix has not specified how much of the novel the first season covers, which plot points have been altered or whether the television version is designed to continue beyond this initial story.
Who directs and writes Take Charge of My Heart?
Park Soo-won directs and Song You-chae writes the series. Netflix lists NEW POINT and WHYNOT MEDIA as the production companies and presents the project as a Netflix series.
The September announcement calls it Park’s first romantic comedy as director. The available credits do not name an episode-by-episode directing split, additional writers or a full producing roster, so those roles remain open pending a more complete official credit list.
What is still unconfirmed?
Netflix has not announced an episode count, individual runtimes, an exact release hour or whether the season arrives all at once. It also has not supplied a complete supporting cast, a worldwide territory list or one universal maturity rating.
The teaser does not settle the long-term outcome of Ho-rang’s surgery, the TS Group succession contest, Bo-bae’s screenplay or their contract. Those are story questions rather than confirmed release facts and are deliberately left unanswered here.
