ichidan verb, intransitive verb
be attracted to; be charmed by; be drawn to
Describes a feeling of being emotionally or instinctively drawn to someone or something. Often used with に (〜に惹かれる). The subject is the person who feels the attraction.
I was attracted to his kind personality.
I'm strongly drawn to the colors in this painting.
I was drawn to her kindness.
I was strongly attracted to him from the moment we first met.
惹かれる describes being drawn or attracted to someone or something, while 心が動く is broader and can describe any sudden emotional stirring, not just attraction.
