The Korean film 'As One', released earlier this year, is now online with English subtitles:-

For those who don't know, this is a dramatisation of the events surrounding the amazing victory of United Korea in the 1991 Corbillon Cup. It's still the only time the two Koreas have come together to play as a unified sports team, and they managed to interrupt China's winning streak in the Women's Team for the only time between 1973 and 2010.
The film concentrates on the relationship between the North's Li Bun-Hui and the South's Hyun Jung Hwa, but also on the wider implications of the attempts to unify Korea. There's quite a lot of (pretty good) TT action.

Highly recommended!

Thanks zzzuppp!

I don't seem to be able to watch it though.... the commercial at the start keep repeating.

I saw it in the theater. Great movie. The corrupt ITTF official was hilarious and this was supposed to be a true story.

As the tension between N and S Koreas has increased recently, these videos are so beautiful.




I have trouble imbedding this second video (admin edit: fixed )
&feature=endscreen

I would like to get the DVD for this movie, and it is available from some websites, but all they have are region 3 DVDs. That's great if you live in Asia, but for the US, we need region 1.
Does anyone know where I can get the As One DVD in region 1 format?

It's easy to convert most DVD players to MultiRegion-you can usually find a hack online for your model.

This is not the movie, but the real thing!
There are footage of matches I haven't seen before. See how many great players you can recognize.

Both star players were in separate car accidents recently:

Here is the full movie. Sorry, no English subtitles, just Chinese subtitles.
