The dramatic theory of Hae-Sung Hong, which collectively shows the conformity with Stanislavski system, shall be appropriately evaluated when it is regarded as his self-reliant realistic dramatic theory forming through his reflective thought of experience rather than the circuitous influence of Stanislavski system intermediating Osanai Kaoru.
Hae-Sung Hong sets up a theory basing on his experience without any knowledge of substantial figure of Stanislavski system. Nevertheless, his achievement in practical awareness corresponds to the indispensable elements of Stanislavski system: improvisation, exchanging, ensemble, object, pause, sub-text, combination of behavior and speech, etc. He could not wholly detect the organic relatedness of those elements. But it is thoroughly more difficult to comprehend it than to know basic concepts of the system. Even with this limitation, the amazing result comes into view. It is natural, due to his aim at realism theatre, that his dramatic theory has common characteristics with the system. Reducing his th! eory as a by-product is out of the question.
Yet an influence of the system cannot be overlooked. Just too extreme focusing on this ought to be avoided. To discriminate between his own achievement and the influence needs a elaborate work. Stanislavski system provided him of the source for defined awareness of realistic stage-originated art rather than submitted him under its influence as practical acting method. Hence his theory has the conformity with Stanislavski system.
