This study examined the fantasy drama series Tale of the Nine Tailed, which uses the world view of a folktale and adopts the motif of reincarnation. Tale of the Nine Tailed adopted a cyclical structure where the fate of the past repeats itself in modern life. The traditional Korean folktales that are used in the drama series all share the same topic, but they also vary slightly by region or era. Tale of the Nine Tailed changes people's common negative perception of the nine-tailed fox. First of all, the series portrays the nine-tailed fox as an attractive male, rather than a seductive female. It also incorporated various episodes to tell the story of a heroic nine-tailed fox that uses supernatural powers to save not only those whom he loves, but also the general public. Furthermore, it was a new attempt to bring the nine-tailed fox together with other characters from different folktales into a story to make different world views merge into one. This study analyzes how the narrative structures of traditional folktales are adapted and changed in fantasy drama series, and it explains how various types of result can be created from the storylines of traditional folktales and the imaginations of the authors.

동굴은 우리의 옛 조상들이 강 가까운 동굴 속에 살면서 바닷가나 냇가에서 물고기를 잡아먹으며 살아가는 등 먼 옛날 석기시대에는 혈거생활의 주거지로 이용되어 왔을 뿐만 아니라 그 후 인류가 발전함에 따라 다양하게 이용되어 왔다. 즉, 때로는 은신처로 이용되어 왔고 때로는 묘지로, 작전기지로, 그리고 물자의 저장고로도 이용되었고 그밖에 수양터와 신앙의 장소 등으로 사용되었었다. 이러한 증거로서 인골화석, 생활을 위해 선조들이 사용하였던 다량의 도구 등 일상용품이 아직도 보존되어 남아있는 것이 발견되고 있다. 우리 나라에서 가장 독특한 문화를 갖고 있는 제주도에서도 여러 개의 동굴이 발견되었다. 이들은 성인상으로는 모두 제주도의 화산 폭발과 관련된 것이어서 용암동굴로 분류되고 있다. 그 중에서 삼성혈은 제주도의 삼성신화, 즉 부족 형성과 관련 있는 것이고, 빌레못동굴은 구석기시대에도 재주도가 주거지로 이용되었음을 인증 받는 중요한 자료로 활용되고 있다. 또한 김녕사굴의 설화는 재주도 설화의 하나로서 제주도 정부와 주민들간의 일치단결에 대한 예를 보여주고 있으며, 산방굴은 제주도 여인들의 기개에 대한 예를 나타내 주는 곳이고, 세계에서 가장 긴 동굴군계인 만장굴은 여인의 한을 전설로 담고 있다. 이렇듯이 동굴은 인류와 매우 밀접하게 관련되어 있음을 확인할 수 있다. 따라서 이제 동굴은 그 학술적ㆍ문화적 가치로서는 물론 최근에 붐이 일고 있는 관광적 측면에서도 그 보전 및 연구ㆍ개발이 시급하다 하겠다.

Since ancient times, legends and tales have been handed down with a spirituality, shamanistic meaning, and imagination. Among many tales about people and animal footprints that are handed down in various parts of Korea, Changnyeong's 'Munhojang Footprint' is the first case in which the physical evidence(footprints) that the main character has left was identified as a dinosaur footprint. In this study, we performed a scientific analysis based on the basic data collection, distribution pattern of 'Munhojang Footprint', three-dimensional digital recording and visualization, as well as case analysis and humanitic review of footprints in tales and legends. The Munhojang Footprints has long been known as human footprints left in the natural rock due to its shape and preservation status. A new analysis that the Munhojang footprints (composed of 13 footprints) are dinosaur tracks shows social perceptions of the ancient people, characterized by the fear of supernatural beings and the limits of scientific interpretation. Through this scientific and humanistic exploration of Munhojang Footprint that are passed down from generation to generation as legends, pray for peace and well-being of the village through rituals and rituals every year, and have been preserved and managed as practical evidence, it is expected that traditional culture and natural heritage will be linked and mutual value will be enhanced.
