Mission: Mompossible
Mission: Mompossible is a brand-new South Korean family drama set to premiere on KBS1 on September 28, 2026. Known in Korean as 엄마가 미쳤어요 (Eommaga Micheosseoyo), the series dives into family conflict, romance, personal ambitions, and long-hidden secrets that tie two very different families together.
The drama is directed by Sung Joon-Hae and written by Na Seung-Hyun. It stars Jung Min-Ah, Dong Ha, Kim Hee-Jung, and Kang Kyung-Hun in leading roles.
Mission: Mompossible Story
At the heart of Mission: Mompossible are two mothers whose approaches to life and family couldn’t be more different.
One mother has spent years sacrificing her own dreams and desires to take care of her family. After dedicating almost her entire life to her children, she reaches a point where she wants them to become independent and start taking responsibility for their own lives.
The other mother has lived according to her own desires and ambitions, putting herself first even when it means turning away from the daughter she gave birth to.
Their very different choices eventually bring their families together through their children. As relationships develop, old family issues and hidden secrets begin to surface, creating conflicts that affect everyone around them.
Kang Da-Mi and Cha Seung-Yoon
Jung Min-Ah plays Kang Da-Mi, a cheerful and determined woman who has spent much of her life putting her family before herself.
Da-Mi was adopted by Jo Mi-Mi when she was five years old. She has always tried to support her family, even putting her own dreams on hold. As the story begins, she decides to take a new step toward the career and life she actually wants.
Da-Mi works as a personal assistant to Cha Seung-Yoon, played by Dong Ha, a head designer in the fashion industry. Their relationship does not begin smoothly, and their personalities frequently clash.
What initially looks like a difficult working relationship gradually becomes one of the important relationships in the drama. The two characters become increasingly connected as their families and personal lives become intertwined.
Jo Mi-Mi
Kim Hee-Jung plays Jo Mi-Mi, one of the central mothers in the story.
Mi-Mi has spent years raising her three children and has become frustrated with the problems they continue to bring into her life. Her children are adults, but instead of becoming completely independent, they repeatedly find themselves needing their mother’s help.
Mi-Mi eventually decides that she cannot continue solving every problem for them. She makes a bold decision intended to force her children to stand on their own.
She is also the owner of Mimi’s Samgyetang, which becomes an important setting around the family.
The Family Conflict
The drama does not focus on just one relationship. Several families and generations become connected as the story progresses.
Kang Da-Mi’s family includes her siblings Kang Gang-Nam and Kang Dae-Chi, while Cha Seung-Yoon’s family brings another group of characters into the story.
Their different personalities, ambitions and expectations create plenty of opportunities for misunderstandings and conflict.
The series also introduces several older mothers who have their own ideas about family, marriage, success and protecting the people they love.
