Plot/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
