Articles in newspapers and magazines which deal with the death of actresses/women shows similarities to shinpa narrative popular to people in 20s. It reveals the narrators' consideration of the modern in colonial Korea as defered while suturing the fatal moment of the death and the exhibitional attributes in attraction of actresses with narrative. In 1930s, this narrative changed into frontal attack to the women in the narrative rather than depresion. Women figure of shinpa had lost its meaning at that time since the so-caled 'modern' semed to be able to be grabed in hands with extending the market in the geography of the Japanese empire.

A Study on Adaptation in <A drifting story (Pyolyudo)>Lee, GilsungT h i s e s a y e x a m i n e s t h e a d a p t a t i o n o f < A D r i f t i n g S t o r y > ( K w o n Young-soon, 1960) and the significant points which bring about the changes in the proces of its adaptation. It is sugested that there are two very different points in this film as compared with its original novel. First, a courtrom scene is put in the introductory part. And it is transformed into the long flashback unfolding how the heroine ends up with murder. Second, she is maried to SangHyun but dies of her ilnes in the end. These changes in the proces of adaptation come from adoption of the melodramatic convention at that time. The introduction of the courtroom scene and the following flashback scene are popular in the dramatic composition of the so-caled crime melodrama in the late 50’s. The change of its ending, too, follows the melodramatic convention. Its commercial interests are also considered as the director and adaptor admitted. The film ends with heroin’s death just as love relations between protagonists fall apart in most melodramas concerning with widows. The point of the change shows the adapted characteristics emerging from the melodramatic aspects in those days accompanied with commercial interests.
