What to know | Chae Soo-bin’s Style Beyond Take Charge of My Heart: Suits, Layers and Bags

Netflix Korean drama "Take Charge of My Heart" premiered on October 9, 2026, starring Kim Young-kwang and Chae Soo-bin. In the play, Na Bo-bae's special ability to carry electric current and Baek Ho-rang's need for an artificial heart form the starting point of the story. Outside the play, Chae Soo-bin's public appearance provides another viewing entrance. From suits, shirts to bags, you can see different proportions.

First distinguish between the settings in the play and the off-duty outfits of the actors

Chae Soo-bin plays screenwriter Na Bo-bae and Kim Young-kwang plays Baek Ho-rang. The two formed a contractual relationship due to special needs and gradually developed feelings. This is the setting of a fantasy love narrative, and the characters’ costumes and situations cannot be confused with the actors’ daily lives.

If you are more interested in dressing, you can shift your focus to public events and social-media outfits, and observe the colors, styles and accessories of the clothes themselves. In this way, you can extend your interest in watching dramas, and you don't have to regard the image of a certain character as the actor's only style.

Suits of the same color, rely on material and collar to create layers

She once paired a forest green Ferragamo blazer with a shirt of the same color, and completed the look with Mary Jane shoes. The same color system makes the whole look more concentrated, while the surface of the shirt and the stiffness of the jacket remain different. There is no need to add many additional colors to create layers.

If you want to try wearing the same color, you can first compare the depth of different materials under the light, and then see how much of the neckline is exposed. Even if the product label is also green, knitwear, shirts and suit fabrics may not be exactly the same; these differences can become part of the look, and it does not have to be the same for each piece.

Wide jacket, look together with inner wear and lower body

She also wears a wide suit jacket with a similarly loose white shirt, adding layering through the turned-out collar piece; for a more everyday look, she combines a suit jacket, a white T-shirt and denim. The former emphasizes the silhouette and neckline, while the latter makes formal items closer to daily use.

If you already have a suit jacket in your wardrobe, you can try on inner layers of different lengths first to see if the hem and waistline are clear before deciding to pair it with trousers or a skirt. The relaxed silhouette is not a fixed size, nor does it mean that you only need to buy one size larger; the shoulder line, sleeve length and movement space should still be compared separately.

Bags are not only decorative, but also determine how they are used daily.

The bags in the public looks include Prada Route large leather tote bag, Longchamp Le Smart shoulder bag and Gucci Jackie with different silhouettes. They differ in capacity, handle, and carrying method. Just because they appear on the same actor, they cannot be regarded as options with the same purpose.

When choosing, you can first list the items you want to carry every day, and then look at the shoulder length and the way to pick up the items. If the clothes already have many layers, the bag style can be kept simple; if the clothes are mainly plain colors, the bag shape and metal details have more room for expression.

To get inspiration from Chae Soo-bin's style, the most useful order is to look at the overall proportion first, and then look at the brand of the individual piece. If you like the same color, relaxed silhouette or simpler suit combination, you can try the combination with the original clothes first to find a version that suits your life rhythm.
