Some K-drama premises sound wild on paper, and “Make Me Tingle” is exactly that kind of show. A trend-savvy marketer secretly raised in one of Korea’s most traditional households, falling into the orbit of a sex-toy startup CEO? That’s the kind of tonal whiplash that makes a coming-of-age rom-com actually memorable — and the newly released stills prove the show is leaning all the way into it.

### What’s the Story Actually About?

At its core, “Make Me Tingle” follows Gong Yeon Su, played by Nam Ji Hyun, a woman who believes in love but has never quite figured out what it means for her. Enter Dokgo Dal, played by Kim Jae Yeong, whose unconventional business opens up a completely different world for her. It’s billed as a chaotic coming-of-age romantic comedy, and based on the newly released stills, “chaotic” might be underselling it.

### Two Completely Different Lives, One Character

What makes Gong Yeon Su interesting isn’t just the romance — it’s the double life she’s already living before Dokgo Dal even enters the picture. She’s the eldest daughter of her family’s main branch, raised under rigorous, conservative-minded training since childhood, while working by day as a modern, trend-focused marketer.

| Detail | Info |
| --- | --- |
| Drama | Make Me Tingle |
| Lead Actress | Nam Ji Hyun as Gong Yeon Su |
| Lead Actor | Kim Jae Yeong as Dokgo Dal |
| Genre | Coming-of-age romantic comedy |
| Premiere Date | October 15, 2026 |
| Gong Yeon Su’s World | Eldest daughter of a strict, tradition-bound family |
| Gong Yeon Su’s Job | Trend-savvy marketer |

The newly released stills lean hard into that contrast, showing a lifestyle that feels almost anachronistic for the 21st century. Yeon Su is shown gathered with family elders around a morning refreshment table, absorbing lengthy life lessons from her grandparents while somehow never losing her composed smile.

### The Ancestral Rite Scenes Steal the Show

The most striking images come from her preparations for an ancestral memorial rite. She’s shown frying jeon (savory pancakes) with practiced ease in a kitchen packed with ritual dishes, and separately helping transfer fermented cheonggukjang (soybean paste) into containers as part of her family’s soybean-fermenting tradition. It’s a side of Gong Yeon Su that feels worlds away from her marketing job — and exactly the contrast the drama seems built to explore.
