Three O'Clock on a Rainy Afternoon

Upon hearing that her fiance has been killed in battle, a woman makes her way to the Park Pagoda to seek comfort from the monument. There she becomes acquainted with Henry Jang, a Korean-American whom she eventually marries. There is no happy ending for the two, however, because her fiance shows up alive and well, but bitter over his lover's fickle nature

Directed by Park Jong-ho, Three O'Clock on a Rainy Afternoon leans on a strong ensemble — Kim Ji-mi, Choi Mu-ryong, Choi Ji-hee — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1959.
