It's D-Day for « Make Me Tingle » («Tu me Fais Vibrer» in French)! TVING's new romantic comedy, starring Nam Ji-hyun and Kim Jae-young, premieres on October 15, 2026, and will also be available on Viki.
To mark this launch, the production team has unveiled a new trailer highlighting the unlikely relationship between a woman with traditional values and the CEO of a sex toy company. Between awkward dates, professional disagreements, and a growing attraction, «Make Me Tingle» promises a romance that humorously explores differing values, prejudices, and self-discovery.
Nam Ji-hyun and Kim Jae-young: Two Opposing Views on Love
In «Make Me Tingle,» Nam Ji-hyun plays Gong Yeon-su, the eldest daughter of a traditional family. Deeply committed to her principles, she believes that love must be at the heart of any intimate relationship. Yet, despite her convictions, she has never truly managed to understand what love means to her. Opposite her, Kim Jae-young plays Dokgo Dal, the CEO of a startup specializing in sex toys.
Unlike Yeon-su, this open-minded entrepreneur believes there is no universal formula for a romantic relationship. In his view, everyone should be free to define their own way of loving. Their meeting on a blind date marks the beginning of a particularly tumultuous relationship.
In the new trailer, their conflicting views quickly spark heated discussions, particularly about sexuality and its role in a relationship.
Dokgo Dal thus views sex as a form of communication between two people. He explains to Yeon-su that he respects her view—that intimacy can be the culmination of love, but that it can also represent a starting point or a step in a relationship. These words directly challenge the young woman’s assumptions.
Yet, despite their disagreements, a mutual attraction gradually begins to develop between them.
A professional collaboration that promises some awkward moments
Things get even more complicated when Gong Yeon-su, an advertising marketing specialist, starts working for Dokgo Dal's company.
The young woman thus finds herself tasked with promoting products that are completely foreign to her and that she views with a certain degree of suspicion. In the teaser, Dokgo Dal openly expresses his concerns: How can he entrust the promotion of his products to a professional who harbors so many prejudices against them?
But Yeon-su doesn't let it get to her.
On the contrary, she believes that her own reluctance can actually become a real advantage. By understanding consumers’ reservations, she believes she is particularly well-positioned to find the arguments that can change their perspective on these products. This confrontation gives rise to a unique dynamic: before they can develop a joint marketing strategy, the two characters must learn to understand their differences.
Their differences, then, aren’t limited to their love lives. They also creep into their work meetings, their decisions, and the way they communicate. Between awkward conversations, misunderstandings, and sharp retorts, this forced collaboration is sure to provide plenty of comedic moments.
But it could also become the starting point for a genuine bond.
A romance about love, prejudice, and acceptance
Behind its deliberately bold concept, «Make Me Tingle» also aims to tell a story of personal growth.
Gong Yeon-su and Dokgo Dal have each built their own views on relationships around deeply held beliefs. Their encounter will lead them to question some of their certainties and consider other ways of living.
Rather than trying to change the other person to make them fit their expectations, they will gradually learn to respect their differences and broaden their horizons.
The series thus raises several questions: Is there an ideal balance between love and intimacy? Is there a single way of being in a relationship that works for everyone? And how can we overcome our prejudices without compromising our own values?
Starring Nam Ji-hyun and Kim Jae-yeong, «Make Me Tingle» features a duo with contrasting personalities and takes an uninhibited approach to topics rarely at the center of Korean romantic comedies.
«Make Me Tingle» premieres today, Thursday, October 15, 2026, on TVING in Korea and on Viki internationally. Four episodes will be available all at once, followed by two episodes every Thursday.
