Synopsis
Teacher and student, but legendary rivals Cho Hoon-hyun (Lee Byung-hun) and Lee Chang-ho (Yoo Ah-in) play the match of their lifetime in the game of Go. At a time when the game of Go was more popular than the World Cup, global legends Cho Hoon-hyun and Lee Chang-ho engage in a heated game of Go in The Match where black and white stones are placed silently but dynamically. Lee Byung-hun portrays Cho Hoon-hyun, who is both strict and warm with Lee Chang-ho, whom he takes in as a student when Chang-ho was just 10 years old as he showed much promise, right after Cho Hoon-hyun won the grand slam. Yoo Ah-in takes on the role of Lee Chang-ho, a student who works tirelessly to exceed his monumental teacher Cho Hoon-hyun. Lee Byung-hun and Yoo Ah-in, who are known to bring their own interpretations to characters across any genre or plot, collaborate for the first time in The Match, adding to the hype of what to expect in this game between teacher and student.
