Program Note

​ This film, which topped the box office in 1976 as a coproduced film between South Korea and Hong Kong, became even more famous for the song One Summer Night, written, composed, and sung by its lead actor, Chelsia Chan. Chelsia, who possesses musical talent, is diagnosed with a terminal illness, congenital heart disease, and bravely prepares to bid farewell to her loved ones while composing under the care of her parents. Like many popular melodramas of the 1960s and 1970s, this film may not be outstanding in terms of cinematic quality, but its strong original soundtrack carries the narrative and allows for deep immersion while watching.
