A touching true story about the historic first Team Korea
"As One" recounts the dramatic tale of the first unified Korean team that competed at the 1991 World Table Tennis Championships in Chiba, Japan.

[HanCinema's Film Review] Korean Weekend Box Office 2012.05.18 ~ 2012.05.20 2012/05/20, HanCinema's Korean Box Office Review(2012.05.18 ~ 2012.05.20)Marvel's "The Avengers" is narrowly dethroned as the top performer in Korea. The blockbuster gave way to Min Gyoo-dong's comedy drama "Everything about my Wife" that jumped five spots in the right direction. "Everything about my Wife" claimed 593,856 admissions and that was just enough to outdo the 565,166 earned by the "The Avengers". Besides Marvel's record smashing comic book hit, this week saw Korean films hold their own as the local flicks held more than 60% of the total ticket sales,...More
Previously known as "Korea"
Synopsis
A unified team representing the two Koreas competed at the 1991 Chiba International Table Tennis Championships. It was the first such sport team since the division of the Korean peninsula. The unified team won the group competition event, beating the front runner, China. HA Ji-won plays the South Korean table tennis player, HYEON Jeong-hwa and her North Korean counterpart, LEE Bun-hee, is played by BAE Doona. The real-life HYEON Jeong-hwa makes a special appearance as their coach. HA Ji-won, with "Duelist" and "Miracle on 1st Street" under her belt, is a rare breed of actress who can tackle action scenes with finesse. Despite the dismal box office failure of "Sector 7" last summer, HA is still one of the few Korean actresses who can single-handedly provide high box office results. Even though there is a fair amount of attention on the recent development in North Korea, we will have to wait and see whether it will have an impact on the film.
