Make Me Tingle: Overview

The Story in a Nutshell

Nam Ji Hyun plays Gong Yeon Su, a woman who believes in love but has never quite worked out what it means for her. Kim Jae Yeong is Dokgo Dal, the CEO of a sex-toy startup, who opens up a whole new world for her. Opposites attract, and here they also argue, tease and challenge each other.

3 Reasons to Press Play

1. Tradition Meets “No Rules”

Yeon Su is the eldest daughter of a traditional family, and for her a relationship without love is unthinkable. Dal believes love has no set order or formula. Their witty back-and-forth drives much of the comedy and quietly builds their connection.

2. Romance Gets Down to Business

Yeon Su works in advertising, and Dal’s company becomes her client. She’s new to this kind of product, and their clashing values make the project even trickier. They first have to agree on how to understand the products before they can market them. Expect plenty of awkward, amusing mishaps.

3. Growing Together, Not Changing Each Other

Meeting someone who lives so differently makes both leads question beliefs they’ve always taken for granted. Instead of trying to change each other, they learn to understand and embrace their differences, which turns the romance into a story of personal growth.

Warm-Up Idea?

Can’t wait until the premiere? Nam Ji Hyun and Kim Jae Yeong previously starred together in 100 Days My Prince, which is also on Viki.
