Dokgo Dal readily accepts all forms of love… with one exception: he doesn’t really believe in love itself. After introducing the very conservative character of Nam Ji-hyun, « Make Me Tingle »This time, it focuses on" Kim Jae-young, who will play the CEO of a startup specializing in adult products. He is an open-minded entrepreneur when it comes to his work and his relationships with others, but much more cynical when it comes to matters of the heart.
Expected on October 15 (on Viki, (exclusive info from Kdrama Kopi), this romantic comedy will follow the story of two characters whose views on love and intimacy seem almost incompatible.
Gong Yeon-su (Nam Ji-hyun) believes deeply in love, even though she never really managed to understand what it meant to her. Raised in a traditional environment, she remains particularly cautious when it comes to physical relationships. In contrast, Dokgo Dal (Kim Jae-young) addresses these very topics without the slightest taboo.
Dokgo Dal is open to all kinds of relationships… but remains cynical about feelings
As the head of a startup specializing in s*x-t*ys, Dokgo Dal has a particularly open-minded view of human relationships. He respects, without prejudice, people’s sexual orientations and the different ways others choose to live out their romantic relationships. This philosophy is a natural fit for the company he runs.
But this openness has a rather unexpected limitation. When it comes to romantic love, Dal becomes much colder and more cynical. He believes more in relationships in which The body reacts before the heart does and feels no need to tone down his opinions to avoid offending those around him. On the contrary, he openly expresses his convictions, even if it unsettles his listeners.
This philosophy was already hinted at in previous previews of the drama, in which his character directly challenged Yeon-su’s beliefs about love. Their conflict, therefore, will not be based solely on their personalities; it will revolve around their very conceptions of feelings, desire, and relationships.
Kim Jae-young transforms into a young CEO for «Make Me Tingle»
The newly released images focus this time on Dokgo Dal’s professional side. A far cry from the more provocative scenes seen in the teaser, Kim Jae-young is shown seated behind his desk, deep in thought or seriously reviewing documents.
These photos depict a young, methodical, and self-assured executive who adopts a much more reserved demeanor when he’s working. The drama aims to capitalize on this combination of his intelligence, self-assurance, and outspokenness to give the character a charm that’s very different from Yeon-su’s. And it is precisely this contrast that should fuel their romance.
Yeon-su grew up with extremely strict principles and even attended all-girls schools throughout her entire education. However, her job as a marketer will lead her to work on products for adults and, above all, to interact with a man who views some of her beliefs as prejudices she should shed.
Dal, for his part, might also find his cynicism put to the test. For while he seems perfectly at ease talking about desire and explaining how relationships work, emotions might be an area he ultimately understands far less well than his business.
«Make Me Tingle» will premiere on October 15 on TVING and on Viki.
