영상콘텐츠에 나타난 정조 인물 재현 양상

Abstract

This paper examines the reproduction of the character, Jeongjo, in movies and dramas. The narrative structure of the Jeongjo content contains the dramatic course of his unhappy childhood and the ordeal he had to undergo to become a king. What draws interest in the content here is that the meaning is interpreted differently by writers based on their imagination, value to the content. Until the 1990s, there was not much interest in Jeongjo. Rather, it was ‘Prince Sado(思悼世子),’ ‘Hong Gukyoung,’ ‘Hong Hyegyeonggung,’ and ‘Youngjo’ who were close to Jeongjo thar was the subject matter. Then, in 1993, when Lee Inhwa’s novel, Eternal Empire was published, he began to emerge anew as a ‘reform monarch.’ Since then, it has been converted into various contents highlighting the monarch’s zeal. This led to a craze for Jeongjo until the 2000s. Most of the content produced after the mid-1990s was influenced by this novel. In modern times, the content of Jeongjo’s life has aroused the public’s interest with the addition of the historical imagination rather than the simple historical story. With its dark atmosphere, it had a different charm from existing historical dramas, which had a familiar narrative structure. This can be seen as riding with the trend and representing the mood of the times. It means that cultural content cannot be created unless it provides a fun and emotional experience to the viewers. Therefore, when the historical figure, Jeongjo, is added together with the storytelling element and imagination, it is thought that there is a reconsideration of history together with an interest in the content itself.
