방송드라마에 나타난 죽음에 대한 인식의 두 양상 연구

Abstract

A Study on Two Types of Death Recognition Shown in Dramas on TV- Centering around <Eternal Love> and <Rosemary> <Perfect Love> focused on love itself regardless of death. Meanwhile, <Rosemary> focused on maternity leading to how to bring up the remained children rather than love.From this point of view, we come to know that <Perfect Love> told us the absoluteness of love and <Rosemary> perceived new love is capable of keeping the maternity alive, and consequently, the family remains warm and harmonious. This takes a calmer attitude toward love and death and considers of future life to be continued carefully, compared with <Perfect Love> which merely concentrates on everlasting love even thought it blazes up like fire. In other words, the attitude of <Rosemary> is more realistic and implies that the work is based on real life as mentioned above. However, it is ironical that <Rosemary>, which is similar to our real lives, is considered to be rather incidental or unrealistic, whereas <Perfect Love> appears to be more realistic. Theaudience response reflected this tendency; <Perfect Love> was remarkably popular among the TV audience. However, the reason why <Rosemary> attracted public attention was that it was disclosed on TV with the theme and the period similar to <Perfect Love>. Needless to say, inexperienced melodramatic dramaturgy for less serious theme by the writer, Jina Song, who has mainly described extremely serious themes such as <Sandglass> and <The eye of dawn>, could be one of the reasons for unpopularity since she is not accustomed to melodramatic framework and characters.In addition, the matter of health or death has become our greattest concern since the beginning of 21st century. Under this social atmosphere, we have to note that our society is emotional rather than rational with respect to taking a stand among the two types of reality recognitions looking back the meaning of love and family.
