한국 동화의 드라마화 가능성 연구 : 한정기의 『플루토 비밀결사대』를 중심으로

Abstract

From 2000, western children’s literatures, in other words, original fairy stories which are classic are re-made into animations, TV dramas, movies. These phenomena give opportunities that children’s literatures were reborn and resurfaced. This study tries to examine possibility to make out children’s stories into video contents in the age of children’s literature contents. <Original Children’s stories in TV> which is made by EBS in 2011 can show the possibility to make Korean original children’s stories into video contents. It attracted children’s attention to original children’s stories that only have paid attention to school lives, TV, computer games. And image media evokes originals of children’s stories so that it made a result of educational effects and interest for children. 『Pluto Secret Association』 which original story was by Han Hung Gi is a series of detective story and the beginning to make children’s feature length drama. It has distinctive difference compared to 『Leafie, a Han into the Wild』of Hwang Sun Mi which were popular and made into animation movie and 『Wan-Deuk』, 『Elegant Lie』of Kim Ryeo Ryoung which were made into movies. The difference is that it was not made a short drama, but it was made a form of full-length 16 episodes children’s miniseries. This can be an example to show power of storytelling in Korean original children’s stories. Series of Han Jung Gi’s 『Pluto Secret Association』 has 3 kinds of research values in video contents works which only have focused on classics. First, it has endless narrative imaginations as a series; second, it is the first TV drama from original Korean children’s literature though there are some animations or movies from children’s literature. There was a children’s drama, <Original Children’s stories in TV> made by EBS before, <Pluto Secret Association> means a lot to be a series of a feature-length story. Last, there is a necessity to examine possibilities and limitations when children’s literatures are remade into TV drama or video contents. And the purpose of animations and movies from children’s stories are to use them as assistanttools in education, but the purpose of 『Pluto Secret Association』 is not to use it as a assistant tool in education but it is remarkable that it is a pure children’s growth drama. Above all, 『Pluto Secret Association』 was interpreted into feature-length drama from a episode of <Original Children’s stories in TV> which was the first children’s drama. And it is worthy of note that children’s drama with children in main character reflects every social image in today (murders in news, kidnapping of children, insurance fraud and etc). The birth of 16 episode dramas of children and for children proved the power of storytelling which Korean children’s stories have at this point that novels are developed into movies and drama contents for adults. Success of <Pluto Secret Association> is a productive performance of children’s growth drama from children’s story, and the result of synergy combining children’s literature and video contents.
