YMCA Baseball Team (2002)

During the time Korea was invaded by Japanese soldiers, Hochang lived the life of a scholar destined to follow the path of his father as a tutor at school. One day, while playing soccer, he meets an American missionary who is playing an alien game that immediately gets his attention: baseball. Taught by the beautiful Jungrim, a Korean travelling woman who was accompanying the missionary at the time, Hochang soon developed a natural talent for being a very good hitter. Jungrim then decided to form the first baseball team in Korean history, the YMCA. Composed of numerous people such as Korean aristocrats, a pair of twins, a politician's son, a few simple workers, a mute, a servant, a Japanese pitcher, and, of course, Hochang, the YMCA team will reveal to be an excellent team and will never lose a game of their very first season. But as the Japanese military force is invading Korea, the team will get into trouble, as they will lose their training field. The rivalry will build between the baseball team and a Japanese military sergeant who was one of the best Japanese baseball players before he joined the army. A match will then be set, but this match not only means who is the best at baseball but also a cry for freedom from the Korean people. (Source: KFC Cinema) Edit Translation
