What happens
Love with an Alien (Chinese: 異國情鴛; pinyin: yìguó qíngyuān; lit. 'Exotic Lovebirds', known in South Korea as Korean: 이국정원; RR: Igukjeongwon; lit. 'Exotic Garden') is a 1958 romance film produced by Shaw Brothers Studio and Korea Entertainment as the first co-production film between South Korea and Hong Kong. Love with an Alien follows a romance between a Hong Kong singer and a visiting Korean composer, and the complications their nationalities pose for their relationship. The film is notable for being the first color film from Shaw Brothers as well as being the first in the line of South Korea-Hong Kong co-productions and influencing other romance films of the era. The film was lost for 54 years after its release before being rediscovered and restored, though the restoration has never been widely released. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
