Editor: I added to the discussion before processing. Basically, OED confirms that
- "own" is optional in "after one's own heart" (as Yves knew, but I didn't)
- the phrase is ambiguous

Here's the OED definition:
"after a person's (own) heart : sharing or according with a person's (own) tastes, views, or sympathies."

So I added "charming person" to indicate that it's not the "sharing one's tastes" sense.
Diff:
# 可人 可人 [ke3 ren2] /pleasant/agreeable/a person after one's heart/a gifted person/
+ 可人 可人 [ke3 ren2] /pleasant/agreeable/a person after one's own heart (charming person)/a gifted person/
