As One / Korea begins with the subtitle, only one divided country in the world. It is based on the true story: the united table tennis team of South and North Korea won the world championship in 1991 against China.
The relationship of the Koreas is under the cold war after the series of events such as the seizure of power by conservative party in South, the attack of Chun-An battleship and the bombard of Yeon-pyung island by North.
However, Korean people have a strong emotional tie in their minds as one nation. This film is about it. It royally follows the conventions of sports films very well, which means at least it is not tedious nor boring.
Although it doesn't include any serious message, the current political situation of South and North makes viewers think about the unification related issues again.
Anyway, what to appreciation about this film is the differences of mindsets, free and strict spirits, naive and arrogant attitudes, etc. And the acting of BAE Doo-na and HA Ji-won is impressive.
They say, BAE Doo-na and PARK Ji-sung, football player, are dating. It turns out to be true?

The coach notices to the national team that they will go to the championship as one team with the North Korea. The athletes are embarrassed because it is unpredictable and they don't have any preparation.
The awkward encounters happens to them. They are one people, but culture, thought and the way of speaking are totally different.
Love, conflict, competition are there. Eventually, they open mind and get together for the match.
Meet the strongest China Team.
Some kind of a deal between China and judge.
The joy of victory.
