Park Hwa-sung, who only published short stories after liberation from Japan’s colonial rule, published a series of novels in 1955 in The Hankook Ilbo. It received positive reviews from both literary and newspaper readers. ‘When you cross the hill’(고개를 넘으면) was made into a movie in 1959, and ‘The sun of tomorrow’(내일의 태양, 1958) needs to be analyzed together in that it was made into a film in 1962. Park Hwa-sung dealt with the problems of women, families and generations as she wrote a novel about the young generation's love and marriage, which she explored ways to overcome the reality of ‘post-war.’ In the novel, she is pinning her hopes on a new family, distinguishing the past to be liquidated from the tradition to be inherited. And it is symbolically depicted through the generation discourse. ‘When you cross the hill’ deals with the secrets of birth, while ‘The sun of tomorrow’ tells the story of the love and marriage between a divorced woman and a single man, so it can succeed as a newspaper novel and is made into a movie. However, as the novel became a film, the writer’s perception of reality and the characteristics of female characters changed, and the ‘Shinpasung’ increased and ‘familyism’ strengthened. The writer creates a rift in traditional ‘familyism’ based on ‘bloodism’ through the story of ‘Creating a Couple’ in the first novel. It also showed the story of the young generation's union and allowed them to directly connect with his grandfather, ‘Sir Hyuk-am(혁암선생)’, who was an independence fighter. These topics should be newly regarded as not being involved in ‘nationalism’. In the film, however, it became ‘Shinpa’ focused on ‘Finding a Real Father’ of ‘Seolhee(설희), and the ending of accepting the father and combining the original family. And through time of reflection on herself and her family, a growing female subject was omitted. ‘The sun of tomorrow’ is about the struggle of Nam Hee-ra, who successfully remarries against traditional customs after her first marriage failed. However, there is a perception in the film that marriage is meant to support men and give birth to great children. Elements and characters related to the reality of ‘post-war’, which the author expressed in the novel, also disappeared from the film. And female characters like Superwoman have been transformed into ‘Apresgirl’ and victims of marriage. Keywords:a filmic adaptation of literature, post-war, a generational discourse, marriage, bloodism, nationalism, superwoman
