칙릿드라마의 스토리텔링 연구 － 「달콤한 나의 도시」를 중심으로

Abstract

The story value of 「My Sweet City」, a chick－lit drama, was first, a generational change in the sense of the place being a city, and in femininity as a rational human represented by Eun－su, Yu－hee, and Jae－in, against this backdrop. The characteristics of the proposed form became clear through comparison with a novel. First, there was a difference in the creation of the sense of place. Whereas, the documentary reality and video images were emphasized by straightly naming a store or company name and a brand in a novel, such naming did not function properly in a drama and ended up playing a secondary role merely as an arranged place. Second, there was a difference in the degree of the conflicts of the character with the casts due to a melodramatic genre variation. In the novel, Eun－su represents the ordinary life and growth experiences of independent professional women, and this is expressed persuasively through the use of the first person confessional style. Meanwhile, Eun－su's confession is delivered as the first person narrator, who interprets or explains during the closing of a scene while excluding her inner voice. Therefore, what Eun－su offered was a romantically involved couple’s experience of rectangular love affair as the heroine of a melodrama. 「My Sweet City」 made Korean style chick－lit possible in terms of the revival of women by frankly and unflinchingly demonstrating the ordinary lives of single women who go through growth pains, but it is important to ensure a gender sensitive perspective for OSMU.
