to be charmed by · to be captivated by · to be deeply impressed with
Ever met someone or encountered something so awesome that you were just completely charmed? 😍 That's when you're 'taken with' them/it!

It's more sophisticated than just 'I like it' and shows a deeper emotional response. It can apply to people, ideas, artworks, or anything that truly captivates your attention. Just remember, it's not about being literally 'taken' or kidnapped! 😉
