This study is about the phenomenon that Hyperreal is much more real and predominant, said Bourdrillard in Simulation, through film ‘The Village’and the play ‘The Watchers’ written by Lee Kang Baek. Both works have common ground that fears by using hypothetical enemy inspire terror to keep village’s order and power. At first, this study looked into how simulacre related with maintaining of power based on the existing studies. In U.S.A., there are many studies about the simulacre that impair U.S.A.’s liberal democracy. Next, this study looked on the similarity of simulacre on the play ‘The Watchers’ by Lee Kang Beak and the film ‘The village’. Both works’ Plot and story is considerably similar but their visions of the conclusion are different. Simulation must have implosion because of the inner factors,simulation producer makes let it down for keeping its simulation. ‘The Watchers’ and ‘The village’ have little difference aspects in the process of deterrence strategy. In ‘The Watchers’, main character ‘Watcher Da(No.3)’ is persuaded village－head into decide to work for report the alarm about herd of unreal herd of wolves for village’s peace Then simulacre is kept going on. Film ‘The Village’, however, blind girl flees from the village and finally gets medicine. So, grown－ups and old men in the village reflected themselves and gave up their simulacre. In order to look around how these works put to use ‘simulacre’, this study accessed the phenomenon by function of the character’s structure and narrative’s aspect. Above all, characters on ‘The Watchers’ and ‘The Villages’ are classified into two group. Some are in the simulacre producer’s group and the other are in the group that cheated by simulacre. This study also considers how simulacre is formed and what meaning that it has by revealing the figures of narrative structure.
