A marketer who believes sex should follow love has to help sell sex toys for a CEO who sees intimacy very differently. That’s the awkward, deliberately provocative setup of Make Me Tingle, a Korean romantic comedy that gets more interesting when its big argument stops being about products and starts being about personal choice.

Nam Ji-hyun plays Gong Yeon-su, who was raised in a traditional household where proper manners, family duty and restraint are taken seriously. Her principles are firm, but she’s hardly immune to curiosity or attraction. When a blind date introduces her to Dokgo Dal, the outspoken head of an adult-products startup, their differences are obvious before they even begin working together.

Kim Jae-young’s Dokgo Dal is a particularly useful match for this story. He’s comfortable discussing desire without embarrassment, yet his breezy attitude doesn’t mean he’s equally comfortable with emotional commitment. After the two meet again as client and marketer, business conversations give their disagreement a place to play out. Every new campaign pushes Yeon-su to consider people and choices outside the rules she grew up with.

The workplace is more than a quirky excuse for romantic comedy. The fictional startup Loand sells products that Yeon-su initially finds uncomfortable to discuss, and that discomfort becomes part of her professional challenge. Her job asks for empathy with customers whose lives aren’t identical to hers. Meanwhile, Dal has to learn that being candid about physical attraction isn’t the same thing as understanding another person’s feelings.

There’s also a complication worth knowing before you start: Kang Tae-ju plays Yoon Ji-oh, Dal’s friendly business partner, who develops feelings for Yeon-su himself. That creates an actual romantic rivalry rather than an arbitrary misunderstanding. Park So-jin plays Jin Se-ra, Yeon-su’s experienced boss, whose more relaxed views on relationships give her someone to talk to when the romance becomes confusing.

The family side adds weight to the lighter office chaos. Woo Mi-hwa portrays Yeon-su’s mother Seo Baek-hee, a woman accustomed to putting her household first, while Jeong In-ji plays aunt Gong Mi-young, whose own marriage history gives her advice a different edge. These aren’t just relatives waiting to object to the main couple. Their perspectives help explain why making an independent choice feels so difficult for Yeon-su.

Make Me Tingle ran for ten episodes on TVING from October 15 to November 5, 2026, with the first four episodes arriving together. Expect a relationship-led, medium-paced series: workplace bickering and culture shock establish the premise, while feelings and family expectations become increasingly important. If you prefer nonstop twists or a fantasy-romance plot, its conversations about consent, marriage and independence may feel slower than the title suggests.

For viewers who like opposites-attract romances with adult characters who genuinely disagree about something, that tension is the reason to try it. The premise involves intimate products, but the central question is what love looks like when two people have inherited completely different rules. Nam Ji-hyun’s principled marketer and Kim Jae-young’s guarded CEO give that question a face on each side of the argument.
