Nothing Shocking

Take Charge of My Heart was a nice representation of a romcom with a fun premise and two likeable leads. Nothing was exceptionally memorable or distinctive about it (other than it was apparent Kim Young Kwang has walked the fashion runways: he makes clothing look good).

The Good:
• The cast was great. The leads were charismatic. The supporting role, which provided the love triangle, was nicely played by Cha Woo Min. I generally despise love triangles, but Woo Min's character was quietly adorable.

The Bad:
• FL's gloves were distracting. She looked like Minnie Mouse with those oversized white gloves. The FL in Spooky in Love also wore gloves, but they were, for the most part, attractive and enhanced her look.
• Why do dramas always depict poor girls in frumpy clothing? A form-fitting outfit doesn't cost more than an over-sized one. It doesn't take much more effort to look put together. Ironically, after the poor girl falls in love, her hygiene and wardrobe always improve!
• I could never understand why the FL didn't peel off her gloves and electrocute everyone in sight when she was in trouble. You've got a power—use it!
• It became necessary to split the couple to gin up emotion and stretch the story, and the manufactured excuses were clumsy and evident. I'd love this trope to die. Painfully.
