드라마 <도깨비>에 나타난 도깨비 캐릭터 연구

초록

The purpose of this paper is to examine the requirements for a successful creation of dramas and the epic meanings and implications involved based on the analysis of Kim Shin, the main character of the popular drama <Doggabi> produced with Doggabi, a legendary goblin that frequently appears in Korean traditional narratives and stories, used as a key drama material. In consideration of the fact that increasing number of dramas have been recently produced with traditional narrative materials such as ‘Gumiho’, a legendary fox with nine tails, <Doggabi> is likely to be a best practice case for elements that can be well received by TV viewers today. For this, I have examined a wide range of research materials and outcomes as to the Korean Doggabi and analyzed and found that <Doggabi> has been created based on a dual strategy of uniqueness and authenticity of Doggabi. The main character Kim Shin has been quite successful in introducing the characteristics of a creative modern fantasy such as psychokinesis and space movement and achieving the aesthetics suitable to a TV drama through the use of computer graphics technology while correcting the distorted image of Doggabi. Next, the character Kim Shin has brilliantly controlled the tension and relaxation throughout the flow of the drama by properly utilizing a variety of narrative elements, including explicitness, reproducibility, and analogy and kept viewers entertained with the use of suspense technique. In addition, an analysis has been conducted on the dramatic twist of the relations between the protagonist and antagonist with focus on Kim Shin and its role in implementing the theme through the actantial model, followed by the contemplation of the relevant meanings and implications.
