TV 드라마 <초인가족>에 나타난 웃음 전략과 희망 서사의 아이러니 = Laughter Strategies and Irony of Hope Narratives in <The Super Family>

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The TV drama <The Super Family>, which was broadcast as two 30-minute episodes, has been typically categorized in the genre of sitcoms. However, despite this categorization, the drama has been touted as an “ultra-emotional mini-drama.” <The Super Family> depicts a distinction from traditional sitcoms, wherein the drama satirizes the contradictions and absurdities of society by presenting various relevant themes in each episode through its TV news scene. Primarily, two factors place <The Super Family> in the sitcom genre. The first is the strategy of having families of Na Chun-il address the camera (or the viewers) directly. This is similar to Brecht’s epic strategy, but the results have the opposite effect because in <The Super Family>, Na Chun-il’s family tries to talk to the camera instead of creating a distance between the audience and the reality of the play. The second is the self-reflective device of Na Chun-il and Maeng Ra-yeon. In the TV drama, actors Park Hyuk-kwon and Park Sun-young, who play Na Chun-il and Maeng Ra-yeon, respectively, appear in historical or fictitious morning dramas, or news interviews, exhibiting their self-reflective characteristics. While <The Super Family> comically deals with the plight of Na Chun-il’s family, his co-workers, and residents in the neighborhood, the reality faced by them is brutal. After quitting his job, Na Chun-il opens a chicken restaurant with Choi Moon-seok. Na Baek-il, his younger brother, gives up on his job search and returns home. Their neighbor, a formerly successful office worker who was fired, takes charge of all the household chores instead of his wife. The reality and future that await Maeng Ra-yeon and Na Ik-hee are not favorable either. Therefore, the drama suggests that while Na Chun-il may be able to overcome difficulties with his family’s support, under the ostensible narrative, there exists a pessimistic vision of the future that they will be unable to survive as “the middle class” or “petty bourgeois.”
