Abstract

This study examined three distinct fantasy elements present among the nine different monsters featured in the classic trilogy “Myeong-Ju-Bo-Wol-Bing” and effectively integrated them into the creation of a drama synopsis. The fantasy elements embedded within this epic narrative can be summarized as follows: Firstly, the monsters' remarkable and unbounded transformation abilities enable an in-depth exploration of their conflicts with humans, providing a means for humans to fulfill their desires vicariously. Secondly, the narrative unfolds through captivating encounters, featuring mysterious items, between the monsters and celestial beings, resulting in awe-inspiring spectacles. Thirdly, the tale of reincarnation, transitioning between monster and human forms and vice versa, instills a sense of tension and eager anticipation.
 The drama synopsis takes native monsters from Korean classic literature and reimagines them as modern entities, delving into their hidden psychological depths and desires. The narrative serves as a fantasy hero novel, weaving themes of coexistence and communication between humans and monsters into its core.
