Program Note

Where The Barefooted Young is a love between a poor man and a rich girl, Early Rain is a melodrama about two poor souls lying and falling in love. A car mechanic and a housemaid tell each other that they are the son of a businessman and an ambassador’s daughter. After being caught stealing to buy her a gift, then beaten up by passersby, he barely escapes and tells her the truth. At his confession, the girl also tells the truth. It is one of the best young adult melodramas of the 60s, and is also famous for Patty Kim’s theme song. (NAM Dong-chul)
