A Comparative Study on the Mythical Contents from : ‘SAMGUKYUSA’ and ‘KINGDOM OF THE WINDS’

Kingdom of the Winds is Kim Jin’s centerpiece that depicts the myth and the history of Goguryeo Dynasty and its third king, Mushin the Great. Kingdom of the Winds, initially a manwha, developed into a computer game in 1996, into a musical from 2006 to 2007, and into a novel in 2007. Such extension of the contents serves as an archetype of the “one-source, multi-use” cases. Moreover, the divinity and strangeness found in the story reflects those of Samgukyusa, albeit the story originated from Samguksaggi. The study examines how the story of Kingdom of the Winds has affected the contents from different genres, thereby evaluates the potential of drawing future contents from the ancient Korean history.
