After exchanging messages and meeting once with a man named Tomu, the police show up, a murder occurs nearby, and Rinka discovers hidden family secrets, causing her life to spiral downward. UCHIDA Eiji, well-known in Korea for The Naked Director, directed and wrote Matched. His direction bursts the bubble of the happy image of married life from the start, hinting at the ominous events and extraordinary imagery to follow.

Just when it seems the culprit is caught, another perpetrator emerges, and the story circles back to the beginning, showcasing Uchida Eiji’s skill in mastering genre-specific storytelling with each project he undertakes.
