The TVING original series Make Me Tingle has teased three key elements that promise to hook viewers ahead of its premiere.
Make Me Tingle is a romantic comedy starring Nam Ji Hyun as Gong Yeon Su, a woman who believes in love but has never truly managed to define what it means to her, and Kim Jae Yeong as Dokgo Dal, the CEO of a sex toy startup who opens the doors to a whole new world for her.
Their completely opposite ways of seeing life shape three central aspects of the plot.
1. A conservative woman versus a man who follows no rules
Gong Yeon Su is the eldest daughter of a traditional family. For her, a relationship without love is simply unthinkable. Dokgo Dal, on the other hand, believes there is no fixed order or formula for love and relationships.
With completely different approaches to dating and romantic bonds, the two constantly clash. Their witty exchanges, as each defends their stance, are the engine of much of the comedy and, at the same time, lay the foundation for an increasingly strong connection between them.
2. Romance moves to the professional field
The relationship between the two also extends to the workplace when Gong Yeon Su, who works as a marketing publicist, takes charge of the account for Dokgo Dal's company. Sex toys are uncharted territory for her, and their differing values make working together even more complicated. Before they can define a marketing strategy, they must first find common ground on how to understand and promote the products.
What makes their dynamic especially interesting is how their differences do not remain on a personal level, but also affect their professional relationship. Whether the client and the publicist can overcome their differences through teamwork becomes another point of interest in the series. Their opposing attitudes toward sex—one more conservative, the other more open—also promise several comedic entanglements.
3. Growing together instead of trying to change each other
Their meeting becomes an opportunity for both characters to broaden their horizons. As Gong Yeon Su and Dokgo Dal get to know someone who lives in a very different way than they do, they begin to question the beliefs and standards they had always taken for granted.
Their relationship raises questions about whether love should follow a certain order and if the way they have always believed they should live is truly the only correct one. Instead of trying to change each other, the two learn to understand and accept their differences, turning their love story into a tale of personal growth.
