Nam Ji Hyun’s “Make Me Tingle” Role: A Sheltered Marketer, a Bold Job and a First Act of Rebellion

Some characters win you over because they’re perfect. Others win you over because they’re brave in spite of being terrified. In Make Me Tingle, Nam Ji Hyun plays the second kind, and her thoughts on the role make the drama sound like a heartfelt rom-com with real substance.

The Story in a Nutshell

Make Me Tingle is a chaotic coming-of-age romantic comedy. Gong Yeon Su believes in love but has never really worked out what it means for her. Then she meets Dokgo Dal, a sex toy startup CEO who opens up a whole other world for her.

Make Me Tingle: Drama Overview

Who Is Gong Yeon Su?

Yeon Su grew up in a conservative, traditional household and works in marketing, a job that demands constant sensitivity to trends. Nam Ji Hyun calls her stubborn but lovable, someone who is wary of the unfamiliar yet stops to ask herself why. That self-reflection, she says, felt very realistic and drew her to the project.

Sincerity Is the Secret

The actress says her top priority was sincerity. In her view, Yeon Su faces so many worries and conflicts because she gives everything her all. Nam Ji Hyun also adjusts how the character behaves around different people, from family to colleagues.

A Quiet Act of Rebellion

Applying to Dokgo Dal’s company is a huge leap for a woman who feared living only in her small world. Nam Ji Hyun describes it as almost Yeon Su’s first act of rebellion. Expect plenty of mistakes and wobbling confidence, but also a woman who grows braver with every awkward step.

The Love Story to Watch

Nam Ji Hyun invites viewers to enjoy how the two leads clash, then slowly understand and complement each other. She hopes audiences will think about whether they’ve had a relationship like that. While you wait, you can watch her in To My Beloved Thief on Viki.
