New stills for the upcoming rom-com Make Me Tingle have dropped, and they’re already sparking curiosity for one clear reason — the drama isn’t shying away from an unconventional premise. Kim Jae Yeong steps into the role of a startup CEO with a business that’s anything but ordinary, and the character promises a fresh, bold energy for the genre.
Billed as a chaotic coming-of-age romantic comedy, the drama follows Gong Yeon Su (Nam Ji Hyun), someone who believes in love but has never quite understood what it truly means for her, and Dokgo Dal (Kim Jae Yeong), the confident CEO of a sex toy startup who opens her eyes to a completely different perspective on relationships.
Dokgo Dal is refreshingly open-minded about how others love and date, embracing all orientations and styles without judgment. Yet ironically, he’s a total cynic when it comes to romance itself, favoring physical connection over emotional buildup — and he’s not shy about saying so, often catching people off guard with his blunt honesty.
The newly released stills lean into that contrast, showing him deep in thought at his desk and sharply focused while reviewing documents, capturing a persona that’s equal parts composed executive and unexpectedly magnetic.
