In the Make Me Tingle trailer, Dokgo Dal tells Gong Yeon-su he can’t trust the promotion to a marketer who is prejudiced against the product. Her comeback: that prejudice is exactly why she knows how to break the stigma. That one exchange sets up everything, a woman raised like a Joseon-era eldest daughter, suddenly selling adult toys.
The good news for fans who want to see that world in person: the stylish store in the drama is not a set. It is a real shop in Seoul’s Songpa district, and you can walk right in. Here is where it is, what else we know about where the show was filmed, and an easy evening route around it.

What Is Make Me Tingle About?
Gong Yeon-su (Nam Ji-hyun) is the eldest daughter of a strictly traditional head family, raised by grandparents who live by Confucian rules. One Korean review calls her home “a small Joseon dynasty in the middle of the city”. Her rule is simple: no intimacy without love.
Dokgo Dal (Kim Jae-young) is the easygoing CEO of an adult-toy startup who sees things very differently. The two first meet at a blind date set up by their families, go their separate ways, then collide again when Yeon-su’s agency lands Dal’s company as a client, according to Soompi.
Despite the subject, director Kim Ye-ji says she deliberately “lowered the tone,” and Nam Ji-hyun joked at the press conference that you could watch it on public transport or with your whole family (Wikitree).
Wait, weren’t these two siblings?
Yes, sort of. Nam Ji-hyun and Kim Jae-young last shared the screen in 100 Days My Prince (tvN, 2018), where Kim played Yoon Seok-ha, also known as Mu-yeon, the long-lost older brother of Nam’s character Yoon I-seo (Tenasia). Eight years later, they are back as a couple.
If that makes the first kiss scene a little funny to watch, you are not alone.
The Real Filming Location: Darak
The stylish adult-goods store in the drama is a real, operating business. According to Korean media reports, including Money Today, the location is Darak (다락), a “wellness select shop” in the Jamsil area, and its interior also appears in the drama’s main teaser.
Darak is part of a newer wave of Korean stores trying to make the category feel less taboo. When it opened, Money Today described it as a “third-generation” adult store built around expert consultation, directly imported premium brands and a comfortable, judgment-free space.
That is what makes this location more interesting than a typical café stop. The drama follows a woman learning to see a “shameful” product as a normal part of adult life, and part of it was filmed in a real shop built on that same idea.
Practical details (from a Darak event listing; check before you go, since hours can change):
- Address: 1F, 360 Olympic-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul (서울 송파구 올림픽로 360, 1층)
- Nearest station: Mongchontoseong Station (Line 8), about a 3-minute walk
- Hours: Daily, 2 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Can you visit? Yes, it is a working shop, not a set. Adult shops in Korea are off-limits to minors, so bring ID. Browse respectfully rather than treating it as a photo studio, and ask staff before taking any pictures inside.
Scene by Scene: What We Know So Far
Darak is the only spot named by the press so far. Here is how the other key settings line up, and what is still a mystery.
The blind date
Yeon-su and Dal’s first meeting is a family-arranged blind date, shown in the first stills as a formal sit-down across a table. Location: not yet identified.
Dal’s startup office
After a breakup, Yeon-su takes a job as a senior marketer at Dal’s company, where web designer Ju Min-hyeong (Bae Yoon-kyu) is one of the cheerful, free-spirited staff (Sports Kyunghyang). Location: not yet identified.
The Gong family clan house
This is the show’s “Joseon in the middle of the city.” Yeon-su’s younger brother Gong Nam-su (Kim Shin-bi), the clan’s eldest grandson, makes his first appearance performing an ancestral rite in traditional robes (Newspim). Location: not yet identified. Treat any viral claim about a specific hanok with caution until the production or a local outlet confirms it.
The dance performance
Nam-su sneaks out, claiming he is at a study room, to secretly cheer on his girlfriend Kang Si-eun (So A-rin) at her dance show. Location: not yet identified.
This section will be updated as the remaining episodes air.

The clan house is unconfirmed, but its mood is easy to find in Seoul:
- Bukchon Hanok Village for the classic tiled-roof alleys
- Namsangol Hanok Village for restored upper-class houses from the Joseon era
- A hanbok rental for the full “eldest daughter of the main family” look (see where to rent hanbok in Seoul)

Can you visit? Both hanok villages are free to wander. Bukchon is a residential neighborhood, so keep your voice down.
A Make Me Tingle Evening in Songpa
Darak opens at 2 p.m., which makes it a natural anchor for a relaxed late-afternoon-into-night plan. Only Darak is a confirmed filming location; the rest are nearby spots that match the show’s playful, romantic mood.
- Olympic Park (late afternoon). Mongchontoseong Station sits at the park’s edge. In autumn, the open lawns and the famous “Lonely Tree” hill make a lovely warm-up walk.
- Darak (around sunset). Browse the real-life version of the store from the drama.
- Songridan-gil (dinner). The café-and-restaurant street west of the park is one of Seoul’s favorite date neighborhoods, about a 20-minute walk from Darak.
- Seokchon Lake and Lotte World Tower (night). Finish with a lakeside loop and the lit-up tower. For the full romantic ending, head up to Seoul Sky. [AFFILIATE_LINK_SEOUL_SKY]
Where to stay: Jamsil is a smart base for this route, with direct subway links across Seoul and an airport limousine bus.
