What Is Mismatch About?
Mismatch tells the story of Bong Soo, a man whose relationships with his family and those around him are thrown into complete chaos after a sudden accident causes his memory to malfunction. The wife who once ruled over him as both head of the household and a company CEO suddenly becomes his daughter. His nagging father turns into his rebellious younger brother, his lifelong best friend becomes a flirtatious wife, and his only sibling transforms into a boss he must respectfully serve at work.
It sounds like a fever dream — and that’s exactly what makes it so compelling.
Oh Dae Hwan stars as Bong Soo, portraying a clumsy yet dependable character, while Oh Yoon Ah plays Ban Sung Hye — the strong-willed wife holding together a chaotic household, bringing grounded charm through her mix of warmth and sharpness.
The supporting cast includes Ahn Suk Hwan as the conservative father Seok Gu, Lee Joon Hyuk as Bong Soo’s close friend Sang Young, Ko Kyu Phil as the immature younger brother Man Soo, and Shin Soo Yeon as teenage daughter Ji Yoon.
That’s a stacked lineup for what looks like a brilliantly layered comedy.
The Poster Says It All
The main poster captures the ultimate “relationship mismatch” in a single frame — Bong Soo wears a slightly dazed, offbeat smile, while speech bubbles and arrows above surrounding characters highlight their switched roles, clearly illustrating his distorted memory.
It’s the kind of visual storytelling that makes you laugh before you’ve even read the synopsis.
