Unable to touch anyone without shocking them, Bo Bae is surprised to discover that her electricity has no effect on Ho Rang and can even recharge his heart.

5. “When the Phone Rings”

The two have been in a marriage of convenience for three years, barely communicating or spending time together, until Hee Joo is suddenly kidnapped. The unexpected incident turns their lives upside down and changes their relationship in ways neither could have anticipated.
This drama really lets Chae Soo Bin show off her emotional range as an actress.

Her chemistry with Yoo Yeon Seok is incredible, and the tension, longing, and complicated emotions between their characters make this romance so addictive to watch.
