It could be seen that the origin of Korean literature was started from tales. It was the general flow that novels of new genre by grafting creative idea and thought of authors based on tables of aspect of simple story was born. Among them, new change was occurred to the history of Korean literature by reaching ‘Geumoshinwha (金鰲新話, novels of Kim, Si Seub, the first Korean novels written by Chinese characters) in the early of Joseon Dynasty passing through ‘biography (傳記)’ in the early of Goryeo and the end of Silla and ‘Gajeon (假傳: the form of biography by personifying objects)’ of Goryeo. Because Geumoshinwha (金鰲新話) of Kim, Si Seub which recorded relatively faithfully in the aspect of contents and form by breaking away from the forms of narrative literatures in the past. Geumoshinwha (金鰲新話) worked as a flare to inform change as fictional biography that broke away the novel of inherited form completely at that time. However, many scholars criticized that Geumoshinwha (金鰲新話) imitated Jeondeungshinwha (剪燈新話: short stories of Gu, Wu) which was written by Gu, Wu of Ming Dynasty. There is few counterviews to acknowledge Geumoshinwha (金鰲新話) as the first Chinese character novel of Korea. However, there are similar contents in the aspect of contents and composition, and cases that two works are similar are occurring in succession, so it is true that to put weight in some degree on the imitation of Jeondeungshinwha (剪燈新話). Not a few scholars in existence suggest various research results whether Geumoshinwha (金鰲新話) imitated Jeondeungshinwha (剪燈新話) or created. Consequently, it could be possible that Kim, Si Seub who read Jeondeungshinwha (剪燈新話) could express the phases of the time at that time as writings by adding some materials or he could give vent to his anger for his present situations by borrowing Jeondeungshinwha (剪燈新話). Only, the writercame to have doubts about that Geumoshinwha (金鰲新話) is how much similar to Jeondeungshinwha (剪燈新話) and which influence was given to novel literatures of Korea by Geumoshinwha (金鰲新話). Therefore, it would be investigated the similarities and differences of two novels by making progress of comprehensive comparative study for Geumoshinwha (金鰲新話) and Jeondeungshinwha (剪燈新話), and solved the curiosities.
