This paper is starting forward the position that analysis about 'text' must be discussed by both 'content' and 'form'. This paper is focused on the unique point of view-novel 『WanDeuki』, especially narrative condition through mouth and eyes of highschool student who has very poor his way of talking. First-person narrator, WanDeuki, named his head-teacher 'Ttongju' and hate him with a very poor way of talking but virtually he believes his head-teacher more than anyone else in this world. Therefore, these narrators, according to Wayne C. Booth, can be a 'incredible narrative'. 'Incredible narrator' means any particular bias or error of narrator and it is not conform to the norms of the implied author. Also, because description of these narrators can not be believed, readers who have the collusion with the implied author is going to read the narrator's narration ironically. The core narrative strategy of Kim Ryeo Ryeong is this. Novel 『WanDeuki』 was filmed as the same name by director Lee Han and released on 20 October 2011. Released in 6 weeks was mobilized over 5,000,000 viewers and in the future more will be expected to watch that movie. There are several times that 'Incredible narrative' is used in Korea literature, but it is much less filming of original that is written by this kind of narration. This article is focused on how they are implemented the 'incredible narrative', relatively faithful to the original, in film <WanDeuki> on the camera's objective view-point. In addition, novel and film both in terms of subjects noted that the multi-cultural text. Protagonist of the novel 『WanDeuki』's mother is Vietnamese, but Filipinos in the movie. And head-teacher, LeeDongJu, gives foreign workers the shelters and the better conditions of life. The steps that Wandeuki's acceptation of his foreign mother, show that the aspect about absolutely hospitality on foreigners who became a member of the family. In particular, the behavior of LeeDongJu who spent his entire fortune to create shelters for foreigners and accused his father for their living condition, shows the absolute epitome of hospitality. Because novel 『WanDeuki』 described generally unacceptable aspects of the hospitality as 'the incredible first-person narration', it can be possible that readers get more closer to implied author and accept implied author's notion without any reluctance. Also, it makes clear that the film <WanDeuki> through a strategy of humor in the aspect of absolute hospitality is accepted persuasively and very effectively by the audiences. This paper is the first one about the film <WanDeuki> and focused on the relationship between fiction and film. Also it is valuable because this is the first paper that approaching ontological narrative about the work.
