영문 초록

Korean film flourished enormously in the late 1950s. Melodrama was the genre that gained the most popularity and was made in the most numbers during these years. Popular novels such as serial stories in newspapers were often adapted and established the generic foundation for melodrama. By analyzing two films based on popular novels around 1957, this thesis attempts to inquire into how the melodramas of the time changed: The Pure Love(Sun-aebo) and The Star of Lost Paradise(Silag-won-ui byeol). The former was adapted from serial stories in newspapers of 1930s and enjoyed unprecedented favor. The film is based on a love triangle which was the conventional plot of love stories at the time. However it made alterations to the triangle. The Star of Lost Paradise, originated from the novel in 1950s, went further than the other. The love triangle lost its effectiveness as a plot. The love relationship of the main characters goes through complications as family matters get involv ed. All of the two novels were made into movies in 1957. The Star of Lost Paradise was not only a huge hit at the box office but also generally applauded by critics. The success of and The Pure Love was no match for that of The Star of Lost Paradise. The thesis argues that the latter reflects the social circumstances of the time through its transformed structure of love relationship and the challenging attitude of the female characters towards the establishment. These changes indicate the schema of a love triangle, a docile woman and a true love shown in the 1930s' novels was no longer valid. The Star of Lost Paradise illustrates a new kind of audience who went along with the changes of the values.
