Take Charge of My Heart Introduces a Romance Writer and a Heir
The first two episodes of Netflix’s Take Charge of My Heart introduce Na Bo-bae, a writer of drama scripts whose romance scenes lack realism.
Bo-bae has never had a romance of her own, even though she often imagines love-story scenes.
Her boss says she needs to write a convincing romance if she wants to renew her contract, which ends in three months.
The story also introduces Baek Ho-rang, a capable heir poised to take over TS Group after his parents’ deaths.
He has a weak heart and relies on a battery-powered device, which needs to be replaced in surgery.
The opening episodes set up a romance drama around Bo-bae’s work and Ho-rang’s health, but the available account does not say what happens next.
