Nam Ji Hyun and Kim Jae Yeong have shared their last moments on the set of “Make Me Tingle.” A new behind-the-scenes video for episodes 9 and 10 shows the two leads laughing, rehearsing romantic scenes, and reflecting on their time together. The TVING original series wrapped its 10-episode run on November 5, 2026, and the farewell footage gives viewers a close look at the easy chemistry that carried the romantic comedy from start to finish. The video arrived on November 9, 2026, just days after the finale, and it has already become a talking point among fans who are not ready to let the characters go.
What the Final Filming Video Shows
The making-of clip follows Nam Ji Hyun and Kim Jae Yeong as they rehearse small but important moments. While practising a couple-ring scene, the director can be heard laughing at Nam Ji Hyun‘s surprised reaction. Kim Jae Yeong tells her, “It’s coldโplease hurry up and accept.” She suggests they link arms, and when he subtly puts his hands in his pockets to avoid the cold, she laughs and says, “This won’t do. Let’s hold hands then.” The exchange is short, but it captures the playful back-and-forth that defined their on-screen relationship.
Later in the video, Kim Jae Yeong shows off the couple rings to the camera and jokes, “I don’t have money now.” The two actors also take photo-booth pictures together and cook food with the crew. The clip ends with closing remarks. Kim Jae Yeong pretends to tear up while Nam Ji Hyun laughs at his antics. He says, “This is my second project with Ji Hyun, so I’m very fond of it. I think we were able to wrap up enjoyably and well, so I’m happy.” Nam Ji Hyun adds, “It’s a relief we were able to finish without anyone getting sick,” noting how cold the weather had become since filming began. She also says, “Jae Yeong oppa made the set really fun, so I think I could film while laughing a lot”.
The Story Behind the Show
“Make Me Tingle” is a romantic comedy about two people with opposite views on love and intimacy. Nam Ji Hyun plays Gong Yeon Su, a woman raised in a strict traditional Korean family. She believes in love but has never fully understood what it means for her. Kim Jae Yeong plays Dokgo Dal, the CEO of a sex-toy startup who values both emotional connection and physical chemistry. Their lives collide when Dokgo Dal becomes a client at the advertising agency where Gong Yeon Su works. What starts as a professional clash slowly turns into something more personal.
The show’s director, Kim Ye-ji, said the production team made a deliberate choice to keep the tone grounded. “While sex toys are becoming more mainstream these days, we made a point not to try too hard to be ‘cool’ about it,” she said at a press conference in Seoul. “Instead of leaning into shock value, we treated the products as a backdrop to focus on how the two leads clash, connect, and fall in love”. Nam Ji Hyun described her character as someone who grew up surrounded by love but secretly worries that her perspective is too sheltered. “Meeting Dokgo Dal forces her to rethink everything she thought she knew about love,” she said.
A Reunion for Nam Ji Hyun and Kim Jae Yeong
The two actors had worked together before, in the 2018 drama “100 Days My Prince.” That history made the set comfortable from the start. Nam Ji Hyun gave their chemistry a score of “110 out of 100,” while Kim Jae Yeong gave it a perfect 100. “It was a great honor to work with Nam Ji Hyun again in ‘Make Me Tingle’ following our time in the drama ‘100 Days My Prince,’” he said. “Nam Ji Hyun is an actor who is not only talented but also incredibly admirable in the sincerity she brings to her acting, so I was happy and enjoyed the experience of working together”.
Nam Ji Hyun explained that the conversations between their characters drive the story. “Gong Yeon Su and Dokgo Dal have an unusually high number of clashes,” she said. “Since their perspectives on the exact same events are sharply different, I paid close attention to clearly portraying the gap between their positions. The core of ‘Make Me Tingle’ lies in how they gradually melt into each other after such intense friction”.
How the Drama Performed Around the World
The show found viewers well beyond South Korea. According to Rakuten Viki, “Make Me Tingle” ranked No. 1 on the platform’s weekly charts across the Americas, Europe, and Oceania. It also placed No. 3 in the Middle East and India. On Disney+ Japan, the show ranked No. 2, and it reached No. 9 on Amazon Prime Video India’s drama chart. On TVING, it ranked third in the drama category and sixth overall. The series holds a score of 8.2 on MyDramaList based on over 1,000 user ratings at the time of reporting.
The finale itself followed Gong Yeon Su as she made a major decision to leave her family home after a conflict with her mother. She chose to live independently and moved in with Dokgo Dal. The final episodes focused on her standing by her choices and the two families slowly coming to accept the relationship. Dramabeans described the final week’s theme as “choices”โwhether taking a step toward independence, defining the terms of a relationship, or choosing to love despite pushback.
What the Cast Said About the Ending
Nam Ji Hyun spoke about what drew her to Gong Yeon Su. “I was most impressed by the way she lives and her attitude toward life,” she said. “I liked how Yeon Su accepts the various events that happen and grows into a better person”. Kim Jae Yeong described his character as someone with an open mind who expresses his thoughts without hesitation, while Gong Yeon Su is cautious and has clear principles. He summed up their relationship as “understanding differences”.
