Make Me Tingle (2026) s01e02 Episode Script
Episode 2
1
This is ruined.
I'm doomed.
It's all messed up.
I have no hope.
Gosh.
What are we going to do about this?
What am I going to do now?
Gong Yeon-su.
I worked hard on it
but it didn't ferment.
- Gosh. Too bitter.
- What now?
- What do you mean?
- Over one mistake
Just because
it's not fermented properly
are you throwing all this out?
I wish I could save it too.
Do you know
how much these beans cost?
How can I be saved
when not even cheonggukjang
can be saved?
Find someone else
who has a good understanding
of our company.
I almost threw this at you.
She was my blind date.
So what? Since when did you care
about your blind date?
She threw up on my clothes
in the club.
People make mistakes.
It's actually better this way.
It was
rather a sophisticated meeting.
- Sophisticated?
- Yes.
They're mine. Perfect. I love it.
Drink.
This isn't right.
I'm sorry, Se-ra. I can't do it.
You can't back out now.
You said you'd give it a shot.
You had your hand up.
You don't think
I'm the right person for it either.
I didn't.
But the tables have turned.
- What do you mean?
- He was looking for you.
The horizon.
You went on and on and on
about the horizon.
Now that I finally found the person,
what changed your mind?
I'm not talking about the company.
Let's just change the marketer.
- What?
- Instead of that woman
bring me the person
who came up with the horizon ad.
Didn't I tell you?
She's the one.
- What?
- So, be confident.
You're not Gong Yeon-su
from the blind date
but Gong Yeon-su
who created the horizon ad.
Grapes for you.
Mang-na. I knew I could count on you.
Hey, don't you think calling me
by my name
when I'm 24 years older than you
is a bit much?
I don't mind hearing it though.
I do it to any women
who are older than me.
I call every woman by their names
except for my mom.
You're really not prejudiced.
You're the reason I come to work,
to have fun with you.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry about last time.
I don't normally drink that much.
But that day
Anyway, I'm sorry about that.
- It's okay.
- And I'll pay you back
- for your clothes.
- Sure.
Has it been decided that you'll be
in charge of our product?
- Yes, for now.
- Let me ask a few questions.
Have you ever used a sex toy before?
- No.
- Including our products?
No, never.
I didn't even know the name
of your company until I received it.
Is that a problem?
Which part?
Not knowing the name of our company?
Or no sex toy experience?
Being your blind date.
- If that's what bugs you
- Yes.
It bugs me.
You being my blind date also bugs me.
You've never used a sex toy before.
And you didn't even know
the name of our company.
Just because I didn't know the name
it doesn't mean I didn't know
what this company does.
Whether it's for a company
or a product or an event
the idea of marketing is the same.
And it's my job to analyze and grasp
- the target.
- Is that so?
Since you said so,
let me ask you one more question.
What do you think of sex toys?
Do you have any intention
of using them in the future?
That answers my question.
I can't leave it to a marketer
who's biased about our product.
I think we're done here.
We're done here?
Yes, we're done.
You need to leave.
Yes, I admit
that I'm biased about your product.
I don't know much about it
and I never really paid
attention to it.
Honestly, it's true that I feel
a bit resistant to it in some ways.
But you know what?
You'll find a lot of people like me
in general.
And they're your target in the end.
Because I'm biased,
I know how to overcome that bias.
What does the horizon
mean to you?
The horizon ad.
I heard it was your idea.
I'm just curious
about what that means.
Well, it's just
a peaceful, safe
- and stable life.
- In detail.
It's the line I keep my eyes on
so I don't lose where I'm going.
Sometimes I stop and look back to see
if I've strayed
from the path I wanted to take.
It's the line
that makes me start walking again.
You mean like
marriage?
Well, I'm not sure
whether it's a marriage or not.
Because you can't guess
how far the horizon is.
I'm still walking toward it,
but I haven't reached it yet.
Does that answer your question?
MAKE ME TINGLE
Aunt Mi-young, it's not funny.
No, I'm not saying it's funny.
I'm proud of you.
I knew people in this family
tend to act first and think later.
It runs in the family.
I'm about to go crazy
trying to do something crazy.
What if I stray from the path
- while trying a new one?
- What's wrong with it?
Just because you know it,
doesn't mean you won't fall.
Hey, life is no big deal.
Don't think too much about it.
Hey, it's burning. Flip it.
- Flip it.
- It's not burned.
It is.
It's the line I keep my eyes on
so I don't lose where I'm going.
I'm still walking toward it,
but I haven't reached it yet.
We finally have
A new girl.
The vice president is late.
Sorry. It was hard to put
on the butt-lifting shape wear today.
His boyfriend?
Say hi. He's our vice president.
Gong Yeon-su, right? I'm Yun Ji-o.
Oh, yes. Hello.
This is Ma Mang-na,
the product designer.
He's Joo Min-hyung, the web designer.
Nice to meet you.
Finally, I'm not
the only woman here anymore.
Can I call you by your name
when the bosses aren't here?
I'm Gong Yeon-su
from SR Marketing Group.
I'll be in charge
of promoting your new release.
I look forward to working with you.
You can call me.
Ms. Gong.
The vice president will tell you
about the rest.
- Sure.
- You're dismissed.
Oh, Mr. Dokgo.
You need to look at this.
This too.
Here.
- Is this my desk?
- Now
do you want me to show you around?
You said you'd show me around.
Yes, it's the in-company cafe.
This place has good coffee.
Dal told me.
You met on a blind date?
Don't take it wrong.
The blind date has nothing to do
with this
I know. Dal seeing a woman
on a blind date
of all people?
My boss is actually
pretty blunt and prickly.
Still, he means no harm.
So don't take it personally.
That's what I wanted to tell you.
Yes, I'll do my best.
Doing my best is my specialty.
Still
I'm new to this field.
I'm going to need your help.
Of course.
Feel free to ask me.
I'll be here to help you.
But don't tell Dal.
Does it have to be a secret?
He won't say anything good anyway.
From what I know
Mind your own business.
You guys look pretty close.
Whatever. I hate you.
Honey, don't be upset.
Still
Now, let's talk about the tuition.
- The tuition?
- I'm not asking for much.
A cup of coffee
from time to time will do.
Well, sure.
Oh, right. That means you need money.
- Ta-da.
- My wallet.
- How do you have this?
- Well
I found it in front of the club.
Oh, thank you so much.
I reported everything lost.
You owe me one.
- Now, are you ready for a real tour?
- Yes.
This is where we try the products.
What?
In the company?
- Yes. Something wrong?
- But
- During work?
- It is work.
It's part of our job.
You're free to use it anytime.
Oh, don't forget to lock the door.
No, I'm good.
- Are you using it?
- No.
This is the Development Room
where we design
and engineer everything.
After the prototypes are made
at the factory
we test and improve them here.
This is where you can see
the entire history of Loand.
All right. Here's a test.
- Guess what this is.
- Is that also a toy?
It looks like a tumbler, doesn't it?
We have ones that look
like eggs and muffins.
Our ancestors used
animals' horns or wood.
Guess when the oldest sex toy
in human history was made.
- I'm not sure.
- It was 30,000 years ago.
This world has history too.
Of course.
Cleopatra
put a bunch of bees inside a gourd
and made it vibrate artificially.
Cleopatra. Wow.
- And here's your homework.
- For me?
What is this?
Think about why
mankind created things like this.
Think about it?
Okay.
Be good. Stay quiet.
Yusecha.
Eolsachirwol gapjasang.
So? Is your crazy thing worth doing?
I'm getting used to it.
By any chance
are you bringing any toys home?
Are you crazy?
How can I bring them home?
Hey. You brought coffee home
all the time
when you were working
on the coffee ad.
Hush.
Chuwongamsi.
Bulseongyeongmo.
Geuni.
Jeongjakseosu.
It's not me.
Seriously, Nam-su
Wait!
What's going on?
- What's wrong?
- Uncle.
Wait.
Please let it go.
Turn your phone off
during the memorial ceremony.
Yes, I'll turn it off.
No, I'll do it.
I'm doomed.
Wait!
Oh, my goodness.
Stop her.
Gong Yeon-su,
I told you not to touch my stuff.
What?
I know you're tired
from working overtime
but why did you take my massager?
Oh, no.
Is that a massager?
If it's not a massager,
what would it be?
It spins
and massages your traps.
I can't take this anymore.
- Good grief.
- How dare you make a fuss
on the day of a memorial ceremony?
Especially during the first day
of his burial!
Get out of here.
Now!
If you're going to act up again
during the memorial ceremony
stay outside.
Where can I go?
It's always held late at night.
I have no place to go.
So why did you get divorced?
Why are you bringing that up now?
That's enough.
Buy ham.
Buy ham.
Buy ham.
- Buy ham.
- It's cold. Hurry up and get inside.
How much is in there?
It's not enough to move my legs.
Oh, it's cold.
Hurry up and come inside.
My aunt, who had a passionate romance
but had an arranged marriage
said she had never been happy
even for a moment.
When I asked her
why she was getting married
she said
Well
Because
I feel like
this is the right thing to do.
KOREAN HISTORY
Nam-su.
Nam-su couldn't disobey the family
simply because he was a son.
So he's been forced
to drink herbal medicine
searching for answers
for three years straight.
However, my answer has been set
from the start.
I believed
that marrying the person I love
was the closest thing to the answer.
- I'll do it. Hold it.
- Okay.
It's raining so much.
Let me see.
Is there more?
Let's go.
It's getting wet.
The answer I've always wanted is
love.
I'M HAPPY WE'RE CELEBRATING
OUR 100 DAYS TOGETHER
But is it really love?
Two iced Americano,
one green grape ade,
- and espresso for you?
- Yes.
I think we should
get Yeon-su something too.
What would she like?
I'll get my own.
Hey, Yeon-su.
We should get it for you
while you work here.
Besides, he's rich. Pick one.
Then I'll have a latte.
One latte, please.
We have a meeting today.
- Okay.
- We have a meeting every Thursday.
I'll share the schedule with you.
Okay.
Dal, maybe get a cake too?
If you want.
We got feedback saying the third-gen
Star Love doesn't suck hard enough.
I've tried it too.
But it's more like
the level of subtlety is
a bit disappointing.
When I increase the intensity
How should I put it?
It hits too hard.
What are they talking about?
Some people like it more
than the second-gen and some don't.
It depends on the person.
Right.
But I prefer something more subtle.
Ms. Gong, what about you?
- What?
- Have you used our product before?
Oh, well
No, I haven't
Oh, then from a different company?
What do you prefer?
Hard? Subtle?
You mean suction?
It's an electronic device after all.
Sucking hard is
probably better than subtle.
Hard?
When it's hard, it's more effective.
Even with vacuum cleaners
the stronger the suction,
the more expensive they are.
A vacuum cleaner?
Wow, you want something
as strong as a vacuum cleaner?
That's hardcore.
Why didn't I think of that?
We need a turbo.
Love!
Yourself!
I love team dinner.
Our team manager thinks team dinner
is part of company welfare.
Of course.
No one's forcing you to drink.
And I get to eat good food for free.
- This is especially good today.
- Really?
Look at him inhaling the food.
You're like a vacuum cleaner.
Yeon-su, enjoy.
Excuse me. I'm going to the restroom.
Can we get one more?
Sure. Get as many as you want.
I feel like a new student
who's struggling to get used to it.

INCOMING CALL
This call is for age verification.
- What can you learn from that?
- Oh, geez.
To confirm you're an adult,
press 32
You scared me.
Why are you verifying your age
outside by yourself?
- It was a mistake.
- Okay.
I need time to learn and study.
I'm doing my best.
Why don't you just ignore me?
How can I ignore you
when we decided to do it together?
Wear something comfortable
to walk in tomorrow.
We have a place to go.
- Let's go for Round Two.
- Stop him.
- Grab him.
- My partner.
- Where have you been?
- Mr. Yun.
Ms. Gong, here.
- Thank you.
- Let him go.
Let's go. He's drunk.
Ms. Gong.
Oh, Yeon-su.
Let's have dinner together tomorrow.
What? Me?
But Mr. Dokgo is watching us.
Are you sure about this?
It's fine.
You don't need to worry about him.
What do you want to eat?
What's your favorite?
Let's go home. It's time to go home.
Let's go.
- Let's go.
- Keep walking.
- Open the door.
- What? Wait
Get inside. Watch your head.
- But
- Watch your head.
Yeon-su, you promised.
- Get inside. You'll bump your head.
- Hello.
- Bye.
- Gugi-dong, please.
Bye.
Are you sure
you don't need to go with Mr. Yun?
With him? Why?
VACAN
Hop in. I'll see you tomorrow.
Oh
Okay.
They might as well
come out of the closet.
Everyone seems to be open-minded.
Hey. Are you still up?
Come on. Don't fight.
Be a good kid.
Of course, I miss you.
What? Really?
I'm leaving now.
CHANGING ATTITUDES TOWARD SEX,
SEX SHOPS COMING INTO THE OPEN
AS SOCIETY'S ATTITUDES
TOWARD SEX HAVE CHANGED
SEX SHOPS ARE GRADUALLY MOVING
INTO THE MAINSTREAM
Get a hold of yourself, Gong Yeon-su.
Next station is Seongsu Station.
The doors are on your right.
Hello.
I forgot you were going
to the factory today.
Let's have dinner next time.
Or should I go instead?
No, it's fine. I'll go.
Then why don't you two go together?
- With him?
- Why?
- What for?
- Why would I?
Because
You'll find it helpful.
- See you later.
- We're going to be late. I'm off.
Thank you.
Mr. Yun seems to be a nice guy,
right?
He's also very friendly.
Sometimes he's too much.
I see.
Actually, he found my wallet
that I'd lost.
So I promised
to buy him coffee and a meal.
I had all the important stuff
in there like my ID and cards.
I couldn't be more grateful.
By the way
since when did you two
Since when did we know each other
or since when did we start?
Well, both?
We've known each other
since high school.
And it's been
about three and a half years
since we started.
Wow. It's been quite a while.
Not really.
We're just getting started.
We need to endure a little longer
for the world to recognize us.
You're even thinking
about the future.
It won't be easy
to fight the prejudice.
That's amazing. You have my support.
Your support?
Well, if you say so.
ADULT PRODUCTS
Wait here.
Hey. Mr. Dokgo.
- Long time no see.
- Have you been well?
Yes. I'm doing just fine
going from one place to the other.
- How's your business going?
- Great.
How's your business going?
The sales have been
going up a lot lately.
This is my good boy.
I'll let you know
when we have a new release.
For sure. By the way
who's she?
She's my new marketer.
- Hello.
- Nice to meet you.
Yes? Hello?
- Have a good day.
- Yes, that one.
IMJINGAK
How far are we going?
We're getting close to North Korea.
We're almost there.
Why is the factory
way out in the middle of nowhere?
In the past,
adult products were illegal
so this was the best they could do.
There are only a few in the country.
They're all made in China.
Adjust this
to the machine
- Here?
- Yes.
We just need to
change the shape here.
- This one?
- Yes.
Over here.
Thank you.
I can't do that.
You think making a mold is that easy?
The defect rate is too high.
I know how hard it is.
But you're the only one
who can produce
this kind of quality that fast.
Even for the samples.
You can't just tell me
to make it in two days
over the phone.
That gave me four cold sores.
Oh, no.
The investor suddenly changed
the schedule. I couldn't help it.
- This is for you.
- What's that?
Cultivated ginseng.
To cure your cold sores.
I love cultivated ginseng.
And we got a good response
to our previous season's products.
We'll have to produce more.
I'm afraid
you're going to be even more tired.
How many?
TEAMWORK MEANS QUALITY
IMPROVEMENT IS POWER
- That many?
- Yes.
He looks like a different guy.
Normally, I wouldn't do it
but I'll do it this time
only for you.
I'll get a lot of investment
and bring you wild ginseng next time.
Mr. Dokgo.
- Come here for a second.
- Okay.
- Can you hold this?
- Okay.
You're quite a salesperson.
You were pretty good there.
I don't really consider it sales.
Then?
It's a process
of discussing and growing together
with business owners
I've known for a long time.
So, maybe
- collaboration?
- I see.
Discussing together
with long-time business partners
and looking after their health.
That's what sales means.
And it's highly advanced.
Well, it depends on how you see it.
Do you always visit them yourself?
As a CEO,
I have to visit them in person
to reduce their prejudice
against my products.
As you know, I have to fight
against prejudice in this industry.
Do you have any plans tonight?
- No, why do you ask?
- So it's okay if you're late?
Yes. But why?
There's a place I have to stop by.
SELF-SERVICE MOTEL
SELF-SERVICE MOTEL
We're here.
What are we doing here?
Why else would you be
at a love motel?
There's a vending machine?
More vibrators and penis rings?
They're actually pretty popular.
Okay.
- A daytime rental?
- Yes.
All standard rooms are out.
I only have one deluxe room left.
It's 70,000 won.
- It's Room 303.
- Thank you.
Are you getting any?
What? No.
The product
Third generation, right?
- Right?
- It's too expensive.
Hey. Didn't you hear what I said?
- I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
- Are they fighting?
Forgive you?
You're going to pay for what you did.
- I'm sorry.
- You're dead when we get up there.
- Yes.
- Follow me.
Wait.
Use words. Don't treat him like that.
- What?
- Just leave us alone.
- Do you want me to call the police?
- What?
- No.
- Hey.
If you don't know anything,
just go on your way.
I'll call the police.
This is dating violence.
It's really fine.
Please. Just go.
Come on.
- Wait.
- Please.
I'm sorry.
Ms. Gong. Let's go.
I thought that was dating violence.
- Let's go.
- But
why are they doing that?
If you hit them, it hurts.
Could hurting each other
be someone's preference?
I'm sorry.
I've only heard about it.
I've never actually seen one before.
Just think of it like sports.
For someone, walking is enough.
But for others, it has to be extreme.
Okay. That makes sense.
But still
how can you call that love?
Don't be so quick to judge.
Everyone has their own way.
And we need to
focus on their satisfaction,
not their relationship.
That's what this business is about.
The type of love doesn't matter.
All we care about is
selling pleasure.
That's what this business is about.
Is that it?
How long do you think love can last
based on feelings alone?
A month? Two months?
Or half a year?
Oh, right.
You said you lasted for a year.
Now I get it.
What do you get? What do you mean?
The reason
you can never reach the horizon
no matter how long you walk.
You don't even know how different
dreams and reality can be.
You said it makes sense,
but you don't want to admit it. Why?
Because you only value
what you believe is precious.
No matter what the other person wants
or what kind of love he wants
you assume it's just about pleasure
and treat it like garbage.
Am I wrong?
Did you know most of our customers
are in their 20s and 30s?
They live paycheck to paycheck.
After paying the rent
maintenance fees, food,
transportation, and phone bills
half of their paycheck is gone.
Some of them
don't even get into relationships
because they can't afford it.
They want to have
casual sex once in a while.
But they're worried about STDs
or the other person being a felon.
There are too many risks.
But getting into a relationship costs
too much money, time, and energy.
It's not just people
in their 20s and 30s.
With financial problems
and many other factors at play
entire generations are moving
beyond sexlessness
and into a sex-off era.
Our business is
about improving the satisfaction
of those people. And you call that
nothing more than pleasure?
What does sex even mean to you?
Why do you have
such a narrow view of sex?
You know what? Never mind.
Let's just go.
It's late. Get in the car.
No, I'll go on my own.
There's no taxi here
That's what I was taught sex was.
Mom.
Mom.
What's wrong?
Mom.
Hush.
Something I must hide.
Something I must not mention.
You're a woman now.
You need to behave
even better from now on.
Okay?
A woman must always be careful
with her body.
In the dark and stinky restroom
I became a woman.
I didn't even understand
what it meant to be a woman
but one thing was clear.
I had to take good care of myself
and protect myself.
- Hello?
- Sweetie, where are you?
- I'm working outside the office.
- Working outside?
Where does a sex toy company
send you to work outside the office?
Well
We went to the factory
- and we went to a love motel.
- A love motel?
Why did you go to the love motel?
There was an adult product
vending machine in the lobby.
What? A vending machine?
That's new.
Aunt Mi-young.
Do you think.
I'm narrow-minded?
You're not exactly open-minded.
Why?
Did someone call you narrow-minded?
I'm just asking.
I feel like
an alien here.
An alien?
Everything in the vending machine
is sold out.
The rooms are full.
When everyone's talking about toys,
I'm talking about cleaning.
I didn't do anything wrong
but I don't understand
why I'm so discouraged.
Why would you be discouraged?
It happens.
That's how they've lived,
and this is how you've lived.
Not everyone is the same.
Honestly
How should I put it
It's bewildering.
Yeon-su, hello? Hello
Unbelievable.
Get me a cab.
- I'm calling right now.
- Let's go.
- Stop it.
- You're a mess.
Hey. Where are you going?
GONG YEON-SU
The person you're trying to reach
Hey. Let's go.
Let's go for Round Three.
Round Three.
Where to?
- Karaoke?
- You ass.
Walk straight.
You got a smoke?
Jesus.
It's you, isn't it?
You were with Mr. Dokgo earlier.
Oh
Everything's closed in that area
except for love motels.
It's quite dark.
Yes. Right.
You've never been on anything
like this before, have you?
No, I haven't.
You decorated it pretty nicely.
My daughter did it for me.
Because she didn't want her mom
to get strange looks.
It looks like a camper van,
doesn't it?
Your daughter did it for you?
I'm proud of who I am
in front of my daughter.
I never sell anything illegal.
Check it out.
They're mostly Loand products.
Right. I see.
On my daughter's 20th birthday
I gave her condoms
as a birthday gift.
You got them for her?
It's not like I can stop her
from doing it.
If she's going to do it
she might as well do it safely.
Actually.
I had her by accident.
Isn't she pretty?
People might point fingers at me
for selling this as a woman
but I still managed to
send her to university
and make a living.
I couldn't be more grateful.
It's all thanks to Mr. Dokgo.
Anyway, he's so young
but he works so hard.
He's very hard-working.
He's so diligent.
- Good job today.
- You too.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- I'll see you tomorrow.
- Good job today. Bye.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- See you tomorrow.
- Bye.
The company feels empty
without Ms. Gong.
What are you doing here?
Thank you for the ride.
It's nothing.
- Take care.
- Bye.
Yes, sweetie.
The feeling that cracks are
forming in everything
that was once thought to be okay.
And
- Seung-jun?
- I went to your company.
But you weren't there.
We need to talk.
Are you drunk?
Yes.
I'm here to ask you something.
Later. It's late.
No.
It has to be now.
Yeon-su.
Did you even love me?
When the question was not
whether I loved him
but whether I had ever loved him.
- Yes?
- I realized
that he was another crack in me.
I knew it.
If you'd really loved me
you wouldn't have made a fool
out of me for a year.
- Seung-jun
- You know what?
I really loved you.
All my friends called me an idiot.
But I
I loved you.
This platonic love was damn boring
but
I loved you so much.
Gosh.
Yeon-su.
I'm sorry.
Can we get back together again?
We'll go have
your favorite shaved ice.
And we'll go to the farm
you wanted to go in Jeju Island.
I'll be good.
So, Yeon-su.
Let's do it.
- What?
- I mean
We couldn't do it last time.
If you want, I'll put the condom on.
So let me check
if you really love me.
You're clearly the wrong answer.
Yeon-su, please?
Go.
I don't want to talk to you anymore.
Wait.
- Let me go.
- Yeon-su, please.
- Three
- Hey.
Do I really have to do this?
Two
We even thought
about getting married.
- One
- Come on, you bitch!
What do you want me to do to him?
MAKE ME TINGLE
Hi, Mr. Dokgo. What's up?
The alley
next to the self-service motel
after the intersection.
Please hurry up.
- It's urgent.
- Look at you.
I guess you're worried.
Okay. I'm on my way.
Thank you.
This is ruined.
I'm doomed.
It's all messed up.
I have no hope.
Gosh.
What are we going to do about this?
What am I going to do now?
Gong Yeon-su.
I worked hard on it
but it didn't ferment.
- Gosh. Too bitter.
- What now?
- What do you mean?
- Over one mistake
Just because
it's not fermented properly
are you throwing all this out?
I wish I could save it too.
Do you know
how much these beans cost?
How can I be saved
when not even cheonggukjang
can be saved?
Find someone else
who has a good understanding
of our company.
I almost threw this at you.
She was my blind date.
So what? Since when did you care
about your blind date?
She threw up on my clothes
in the club.
People make mistakes.
It's actually better this way.
It was
rather a sophisticated meeting.
- Sophisticated?
- Yes.
They're mine. Perfect. I love it.
Drink.
This isn't right.
I'm sorry, Se-ra. I can't do it.
You can't back out now.
You said you'd give it a shot.
You had your hand up.
You don't think
I'm the right person for it either.
I didn't.
But the tables have turned.
- What do you mean?
- He was looking for you.
The horizon.
You went on and on and on
about the horizon.
Now that I finally found the person,
what changed your mind?
I'm not talking about the company.
Let's just change the marketer.
- What?
- Instead of that woman
bring me the person
who came up with the horizon ad.
Didn't I tell you?
She's the one.
- What?
- So, be confident.
You're not Gong Yeon-su
from the blind date
but Gong Yeon-su
who created the horizon ad.
Grapes for you.
Mang-na. I knew I could count on you.
Hey, don't you think calling me
by my name
when I'm 24 years older than you
is a bit much?
I don't mind hearing it though.
I do it to any women
who are older than me.
I call every woman by their names
except for my mom.
You're really not prejudiced.
You're the reason I come to work,
to have fun with you.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry about last time.
I don't normally drink that much.
But that day
Anyway, I'm sorry about that.
- It's okay.
- And I'll pay you back
- for your clothes.
- Sure.
Has it been decided that you'll be
in charge of our product?
- Yes, for now.
- Let me ask a few questions.
Have you ever used a sex toy before?
- No.
- Including our products?
No, never.
I didn't even know the name
of your company until I received it.
Is that a problem?
Which part?
Not knowing the name of our company?
Or no sex toy experience?
Being your blind date.
- If that's what bugs you
- Yes.
It bugs me.
You being my blind date also bugs me.
You've never used a sex toy before.
And you didn't even know
the name of our company.
Just because I didn't know the name
it doesn't mean I didn't know
what this company does.
Whether it's for a company
or a product or an event
the idea of marketing is the same.
And it's my job to analyze and grasp
- the target.
- Is that so?
Since you said so,
let me ask you one more question.
What do you think of sex toys?
Do you have any intention
of using them in the future?
That answers my question.
I can't leave it to a marketer
who's biased about our product.
I think we're done here.
We're done here?
Yes, we're done.
You need to leave.
Yes, I admit
that I'm biased about your product.
I don't know much about it
and I never really paid
attention to it.
Honestly, it's true that I feel
a bit resistant to it in some ways.
But you know what?
You'll find a lot of people like me
in general.
And they're your target in the end.
Because I'm biased,
I know how to overcome that bias.
What does the horizon
mean to you?
The horizon ad.
I heard it was your idea.
I'm just curious
about what that means.
Well, it's just
a peaceful, safe
- and stable life.
- In detail.
It's the line I keep my eyes on
so I don't lose where I'm going.
Sometimes I stop and look back to see
if I've strayed
from the path I wanted to take.
It's the line
that makes me start walking again.
You mean like
marriage?
Well, I'm not sure
whether it's a marriage or not.
Because you can't guess
how far the horizon is.
I'm still walking toward it,
but I haven't reached it yet.
Does that answer your question?
MAKE ME TINGLE
Aunt Mi-young, it's not funny.
No, I'm not saying it's funny.
I'm proud of you.
I knew people in this family
tend to act first and think later.
It runs in the family.
I'm about to go crazy
trying to do something crazy.
What if I stray from the path
- while trying a new one?
- What's wrong with it?
Just because you know it,
doesn't mean you won't fall.
Hey, life is no big deal.
Don't think too much about it.
Hey, it's burning. Flip it.
- Flip it.
- It's not burned.
It is.
It's the line I keep my eyes on
so I don't lose where I'm going.
I'm still walking toward it,
but I haven't reached it yet.
We finally have
A new girl.
The vice president is late.
Sorry. It was hard to put
on the butt-lifting shape wear today.
His boyfriend?
Say hi. He's our vice president.
Gong Yeon-su, right? I'm Yun Ji-o.
Oh, yes. Hello.
This is Ma Mang-na,
the product designer.
He's Joo Min-hyung, the web designer.
Nice to meet you.
Finally, I'm not
the only woman here anymore.
Can I call you by your name
when the bosses aren't here?
I'm Gong Yeon-su
from SR Marketing Group.
I'll be in charge
of promoting your new release.
I look forward to working with you.
You can call me.
Ms. Gong.
The vice president will tell you
about the rest.
- Sure.
- You're dismissed.
Oh, Mr. Dokgo.
You need to look at this.
This too.
Here.
- Is this my desk?
- Now
do you want me to show you around?
You said you'd show me around.
Yes, it's the in-company cafe.
This place has good coffee.
Dal told me.
You met on a blind date?
Don't take it wrong.
The blind date has nothing to do
with this
I know. Dal seeing a woman
on a blind date
of all people?
My boss is actually
pretty blunt and prickly.
Still, he means no harm.
So don't take it personally.
That's what I wanted to tell you.
Yes, I'll do my best.
Doing my best is my specialty.
Still
I'm new to this field.
I'm going to need your help.
Of course.
Feel free to ask me.
I'll be here to help you.
But don't tell Dal.
Does it have to be a secret?
He won't say anything good anyway.
From what I know
Mind your own business.
You guys look pretty close.
Whatever. I hate you.
Honey, don't be upset.
Still
Now, let's talk about the tuition.
- The tuition?
- I'm not asking for much.
A cup of coffee
from time to time will do.
Well, sure.
Oh, right. That means you need money.
- Ta-da.
- My wallet.
- How do you have this?
- Well
I found it in front of the club.
Oh, thank you so much.
I reported everything lost.
You owe me one.
- Now, are you ready for a real tour?
- Yes.
This is where we try the products.
What?
In the company?
- Yes. Something wrong?
- But
- During work?
- It is work.
It's part of our job.
You're free to use it anytime.
Oh, don't forget to lock the door.
No, I'm good.
- Are you using it?
- No.
This is the Development Room
where we design
and engineer everything.
After the prototypes are made
at the factory
we test and improve them here.
This is where you can see
the entire history of Loand.
All right. Here's a test.
- Guess what this is.
- Is that also a toy?
It looks like a tumbler, doesn't it?
We have ones that look
like eggs and muffins.
Our ancestors used
animals' horns or wood.
Guess when the oldest sex toy
in human history was made.
- I'm not sure.
- It was 30,000 years ago.
This world has history too.
Of course.
Cleopatra
put a bunch of bees inside a gourd
and made it vibrate artificially.
Cleopatra. Wow.
- And here's your homework.
- For me?
What is this?
Think about why
mankind created things like this.
Think about it?
Okay.
Be good. Stay quiet.
Yusecha.
Eolsachirwol gapjasang.
So? Is your crazy thing worth doing?
I'm getting used to it.
By any chance
are you bringing any toys home?
Are you crazy?
How can I bring them home?
Hey. You brought coffee home
all the time
when you were working
on the coffee ad.
Hush.
Chuwongamsi.
Bulseongyeongmo.
Geuni.
Jeongjakseosu.
It's not me.
Seriously, Nam-su
Wait!
What's going on?
- What's wrong?
- Uncle.
Wait.
Please let it go.
Turn your phone off
during the memorial ceremony.
Yes, I'll turn it off.
No, I'll do it.
I'm doomed.
Wait!
Oh, my goodness.
Stop her.
Gong Yeon-su,
I told you not to touch my stuff.
What?
I know you're tired
from working overtime
but why did you take my massager?
Oh, no.
Is that a massager?
If it's not a massager,
what would it be?
It spins
and massages your traps.
I can't take this anymore.
- Good grief.
- How dare you make a fuss
on the day of a memorial ceremony?
Especially during the first day
of his burial!
Get out of here.
Now!
If you're going to act up again
during the memorial ceremony
stay outside.
Where can I go?
It's always held late at night.
I have no place to go.
So why did you get divorced?
Why are you bringing that up now?
That's enough.
Buy ham.
Buy ham.
Buy ham.
- Buy ham.
- It's cold. Hurry up and get inside.
How much is in there?
It's not enough to move my legs.
Oh, it's cold.
Hurry up and come inside.
My aunt, who had a passionate romance
but had an arranged marriage
said she had never been happy
even for a moment.
When I asked her
why she was getting married
she said
Well
Because
I feel like
this is the right thing to do.
KOREAN HISTORY
Nam-su.
Nam-su couldn't disobey the family
simply because he was a son.
So he's been forced
to drink herbal medicine
searching for answers
for three years straight.
However, my answer has been set
from the start.
I believed
that marrying the person I love
was the closest thing to the answer.
- I'll do it. Hold it.
- Okay.
It's raining so much.
Let me see.
Is there more?
Let's go.
It's getting wet.
The answer I've always wanted is
love.
I'M HAPPY WE'RE CELEBRATING
OUR 100 DAYS TOGETHER
But is it really love?
Two iced Americano,
one green grape ade,
- and espresso for you?
- Yes.
I think we should
get Yeon-su something too.
What would she like?
I'll get my own.
Hey, Yeon-su.
We should get it for you
while you work here.
Besides, he's rich. Pick one.
Then I'll have a latte.
One latte, please.
We have a meeting today.
- Okay.
- We have a meeting every Thursday.
I'll share the schedule with you.
Okay.
Dal, maybe get a cake too?
If you want.
We got feedback saying the third-gen
Star Love doesn't suck hard enough.
I've tried it too.
But it's more like
the level of subtlety is
a bit disappointing.
When I increase the intensity
How should I put it?
It hits too hard.
What are they talking about?
Some people like it more
than the second-gen and some don't.
It depends on the person.
Right.
But I prefer something more subtle.
Ms. Gong, what about you?
- What?
- Have you used our product before?
Oh, well
No, I haven't
Oh, then from a different company?
What do you prefer?
Hard? Subtle?
You mean suction?
It's an electronic device after all.
Sucking hard is
probably better than subtle.
Hard?
When it's hard, it's more effective.
Even with vacuum cleaners
the stronger the suction,
the more expensive they are.
A vacuum cleaner?
Wow, you want something
as strong as a vacuum cleaner?
That's hardcore.
Why didn't I think of that?
We need a turbo.
Love!
Yourself!
I love team dinner.
Our team manager thinks team dinner
is part of company welfare.
Of course.
No one's forcing you to drink.
And I get to eat good food for free.
- This is especially good today.
- Really?
Look at him inhaling the food.
You're like a vacuum cleaner.
Yeon-su, enjoy.
Excuse me. I'm going to the restroom.
Can we get one more?
Sure. Get as many as you want.
I feel like a new student
who's struggling to get used to it.

This call is for age verification.
- What can you learn from that?
- Oh, geez.
To confirm you're an adult,
press 32
You scared me.
Why are you verifying your age
outside by yourself?
- It was a mistake.
- Okay.
I need time to learn and study.
I'm doing my best.
Why don't you just ignore me?
How can I ignore you
when we decided to do it together?
Wear something comfortable
to walk in tomorrow.
We have a place to go.
- Let's go for Round Two.
- Stop him.
- Grab him.
- My partner.
- Where have you been?
- Mr. Yun.
Ms. Gong, here.
- Thank you.
- Let him go.
Let's go. He's drunk.
Ms. Gong.
Oh, Yeon-su.
Let's have dinner together tomorrow.
What? Me?
But Mr. Dokgo is watching us.
Are you sure about this?
It's fine.
You don't need to worry about him.
What do you want to eat?
What's your favorite?
Let's go home. It's time to go home.
Let's go.
- Let's go.
- Keep walking.
- Open the door.
- What? Wait
Get inside. Watch your head.
- But
- Watch your head.
Yeon-su, you promised.
- Get inside. You'll bump your head.
- Hello.
- Bye.
- Gugi-dong, please.
Bye.
Are you sure
you don't need to go with Mr. Yun?
With him? Why?
VACAN
Hop in. I'll see you tomorrow.
Oh
Okay.
They might as well
come out of the closet.
Everyone seems to be open-minded.
Hey. Are you still up?
Come on. Don't fight.
Be a good kid.
Of course, I miss you.
What? Really?
I'm leaving now.
CHANGING ATTITUDES TOWARD SEX,
SEX SHOPS COMING INTO THE OPEN
AS SOCIETY'S ATTITUDES
TOWARD SEX HAVE CHANGED
SEX SHOPS ARE GRADUALLY MOVING
INTO THE MAINSTREAM
Get a hold of yourself, Gong Yeon-su.
Next station is Seongsu Station.
The doors are on your right.
Hello.
I forgot you were going
to the factory today.
Let's have dinner next time.
Or should I go instead?
No, it's fine. I'll go.
Then why don't you two go together?
- With him?
- Why?
- What for?
- Why would I?
Because
You'll find it helpful.
- See you later.
- We're going to be late. I'm off.
Thank you.
Mr. Yun seems to be a nice guy,
right?
He's also very friendly.
Sometimes he's too much.
I see.
Actually, he found my wallet
that I'd lost.
So I promised
to buy him coffee and a meal.
I had all the important stuff
in there like my ID and cards.
I couldn't be more grateful.
By the way
since when did you two
Since when did we know each other
or since when did we start?
Well, both?
We've known each other
since high school.
And it's been
about three and a half years
since we started.
Wow. It's been quite a while.
Not really.
We're just getting started.
We need to endure a little longer
for the world to recognize us.
You're even thinking
about the future.
It won't be easy
to fight the prejudice.
That's amazing. You have my support.
Your support?
Well, if you say so.
ADULT PRODUCTS
Wait here.
Hey. Mr. Dokgo.
- Long time no see.
- Have you been well?
Yes. I'm doing just fine
going from one place to the other.
- How's your business going?
- Great.
How's your business going?
The sales have been
going up a lot lately.
This is my good boy.
I'll let you know
when we have a new release.
For sure. By the way
who's she?
She's my new marketer.
- Hello.
- Nice to meet you.
Yes? Hello?
- Have a good day.
- Yes, that one.
IMJINGAK
How far are we going?
We're getting close to North Korea.
We're almost there.
Why is the factory
way out in the middle of nowhere?
In the past,
adult products were illegal
so this was the best they could do.
There are only a few in the country.
They're all made in China.
Adjust this
to the machine
- Here?
- Yes.
We just need to
change the shape here.
- This one?
- Yes.
Over here.
Thank you.
I can't do that.
You think making a mold is that easy?
The defect rate is too high.
I know how hard it is.
But you're the only one
who can produce
this kind of quality that fast.
Even for the samples.
You can't just tell me
to make it in two days
over the phone.
That gave me four cold sores.
Oh, no.
The investor suddenly changed
the schedule. I couldn't help it.
- This is for you.
- What's that?
Cultivated ginseng.
To cure your cold sores.
I love cultivated ginseng.
And we got a good response
to our previous season's products.
We'll have to produce more.
I'm afraid
you're going to be even more tired.
How many?
TEAMWORK MEANS QUALITY
IMPROVEMENT IS POWER
- That many?
- Yes.
He looks like a different guy.
Normally, I wouldn't do it
but I'll do it this time
only for you.
I'll get a lot of investment
and bring you wild ginseng next time.
Mr. Dokgo.
- Come here for a second.
- Okay.
- Can you hold this?
- Okay.
You're quite a salesperson.
You were pretty good there.
I don't really consider it sales.
Then?
It's a process
of discussing and growing together
with business owners
I've known for a long time.
So, maybe
- collaboration?
- I see.
Discussing together
with long-time business partners
and looking after their health.
That's what sales means.
And it's highly advanced.
Well, it depends on how you see it.
Do you always visit them yourself?
As a CEO,
I have to visit them in person
to reduce their prejudice
against my products.
As you know, I have to fight
against prejudice in this industry.
Do you have any plans tonight?
- No, why do you ask?
- So it's okay if you're late?
Yes. But why?
There's a place I have to stop by.
SELF-SERVICE MOTEL
SELF-SERVICE MOTEL
We're here.
What are we doing here?
Why else would you be
at a love motel?
There's a vending machine?
More vibrators and penis rings?
They're actually pretty popular.
Okay.
- A daytime rental?
- Yes.
All standard rooms are out.
I only have one deluxe room left.
It's 70,000 won.
- It's Room 303.
- Thank you.
Are you getting any?
What? No.
The product
Third generation, right?
- Right?
- It's too expensive.
Hey. Didn't you hear what I said?
- I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
- Are they fighting?
Forgive you?
You're going to pay for what you did.
- I'm sorry.
- You're dead when we get up there.
- Yes.
- Follow me.
Wait.
Use words. Don't treat him like that.
- What?
- Just leave us alone.
- Do you want me to call the police?
- What?
- No.
- Hey.
If you don't know anything,
just go on your way.
I'll call the police.
This is dating violence.
It's really fine.
Please. Just go.
Come on.
- Wait.
- Please.
I'm sorry.
Ms. Gong. Let's go.
I thought that was dating violence.
- Let's go.
- But
why are they doing that?
If you hit them, it hurts.
Could hurting each other
be someone's preference?
I'm sorry.
I've only heard about it.
I've never actually seen one before.
Just think of it like sports.
For someone, walking is enough.
But for others, it has to be extreme.
Okay. That makes sense.
But still
how can you call that love?
Don't be so quick to judge.
Everyone has their own way.
And we need to
focus on their satisfaction,
not their relationship.
That's what this business is about.
The type of love doesn't matter.
All we care about is
selling pleasure.
That's what this business is about.
Is that it?
How long do you think love can last
based on feelings alone?
A month? Two months?
Or half a year?
Oh, right.
You said you lasted for a year.
Now I get it.
What do you get? What do you mean?
The reason
you can never reach the horizon
no matter how long you walk.
You don't even know how different
dreams and reality can be.
You said it makes sense,
but you don't want to admit it. Why?
Because you only value
what you believe is precious.
No matter what the other person wants
or what kind of love he wants
you assume it's just about pleasure
and treat it like garbage.
Am I wrong?
Did you know most of our customers
are in their 20s and 30s?
They live paycheck to paycheck.
After paying the rent
maintenance fees, food,
transportation, and phone bills
half of their paycheck is gone.
Some of them
don't even get into relationships
because they can't afford it.
They want to have
casual sex once in a while.
But they're worried about STDs
or the other person being a felon.
There are too many risks.
But getting into a relationship costs
too much money, time, and energy.
It's not just people
in their 20s and 30s.
With financial problems
and many other factors at play
entire generations are moving
beyond sexlessness
and into a sex-off era.
Our business is
about improving the satisfaction
of those people. And you call that
nothing more than pleasure?
What does sex even mean to you?
Why do you have
such a narrow view of sex?
You know what? Never mind.
Let's just go.
It's late. Get in the car.
No, I'll go on my own.
There's no taxi here
That's what I was taught sex was.
Mom.
Mom.
What's wrong?
Mom.
Hush.
Something I must hide.
Something I must not mention.
You're a woman now.
You need to behave
even better from now on.
Okay?
A woman must always be careful
with her body.
In the dark and stinky restroom
I became a woman.
I didn't even understand
what it meant to be a woman
but one thing was clear.
I had to take good care of myself
and protect myself.
- Hello?
- Sweetie, where are you?
- I'm working outside the office.
- Working outside?
Where does a sex toy company
send you to work outside the office?
Well
We went to the factory
- and we went to a love motel.
- A love motel?
Why did you go to the love motel?
There was an adult product
vending machine in the lobby.
What? A vending machine?
That's new.
Aunt Mi-young.
Do you think.
I'm narrow-minded?
You're not exactly open-minded.
Why?
Did someone call you narrow-minded?
I'm just asking.
I feel like
an alien here.
An alien?
Everything in the vending machine
is sold out.
The rooms are full.
When everyone's talking about toys,
I'm talking about cleaning.
I didn't do anything wrong
but I don't understand
why I'm so discouraged.
Why would you be discouraged?
It happens.
That's how they've lived,
and this is how you've lived.
Not everyone is the same.
Honestly
How should I put it
It's bewildering.
Yeon-su, hello? Hello
Unbelievable.
Get me a cab.
- I'm calling right now.
- Let's go.
- Stop it.
- You're a mess.
Hey. Where are you going?
GONG YEON-SU
The person you're trying to reach
Hey. Let's go.
Let's go for Round Three.
Round Three.
Where to?
- Karaoke?
- You ass.
Walk straight.
You got a smoke?
Jesus.
It's you, isn't it?
You were with Mr. Dokgo earlier.
Oh
Everything's closed in that area
except for love motels.
It's quite dark.
Yes. Right.
You've never been on anything
like this before, have you?
No, I haven't.
You decorated it pretty nicely.
My daughter did it for me.
Because she didn't want her mom
to get strange looks.
It looks like a camper van,
doesn't it?
Your daughter did it for you?
I'm proud of who I am
in front of my daughter.
I never sell anything illegal.
Check it out.
They're mostly Loand products.
Right. I see.
On my daughter's 20th birthday
I gave her condoms
as a birthday gift.
You got them for her?
It's not like I can stop her
from doing it.
If she's going to do it
she might as well do it safely.
Actually.
I had her by accident.
Isn't she pretty?
People might point fingers at me
for selling this as a woman
but I still managed to
send her to university
and make a living.
I couldn't be more grateful.
It's all thanks to Mr. Dokgo.
Anyway, he's so young
but he works so hard.
He's very hard-working.
He's so diligent.
- Good job today.
- You too.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- I'll see you tomorrow.
- Good job today. Bye.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- See you tomorrow.
- Bye.
The company feels empty
without Ms. Gong.
What are you doing here?
Thank you for the ride.
It's nothing.
- Take care.
- Bye.
Yes, sweetie.
The feeling that cracks are
forming in everything
that was once thought to be okay.
And
- Seung-jun?
- I went to your company.
But you weren't there.
We need to talk.
Are you drunk?
Yes.
I'm here to ask you something.
Later. It's late.
No.
It has to be now.
Yeon-su.
Did you even love me?
When the question was not
whether I loved him
but whether I had ever loved him.
- Yes?
- I realized
that he was another crack in me.
I knew it.
If you'd really loved me
you wouldn't have made a fool
out of me for a year.
- Seung-jun
- You know what?
I really loved you.
All my friends called me an idiot.
But I
I loved you.
This platonic love was damn boring
but
I loved you so much.
Gosh.
Yeon-su.
I'm sorry.
Can we get back together again?
We'll go have
your favorite shaved ice.
And we'll go to the farm
you wanted to go in Jeju Island.
I'll be good.
So, Yeon-su.
Let's do it.
- What?
- I mean
We couldn't do it last time.
If you want, I'll put the condom on.
So let me check
if you really love me.
You're clearly the wrong answer.
Yeon-su, please?
Go.
I don't want to talk to you anymore.
Wait.
- Let me go.
- Yeon-su, please.
- Three
- Hey.
Do I really have to do this?
Two
We even thought
about getting married.
- One
- Come on, you bitch!
What do you want me to do to him?
MAKE ME TINGLE
Hi, Mr. Dokgo. What's up?
The alley
next to the self-service motel
after the intersection.
Please hurry up.
- It's urgent.
- Look at you.
I guess you're worried.
Okay. I'm on my way.
Thank you.
