Kkachijon's plot is composed of two rounds of judical hearing. One trial is involving the complication with the trouble solving. the incidents are arranged in the following order : (1) origin of affair (2)seeking solution (3) outbreak of another incident (4) seeking solution again (5) failure of trouble solving (6) seeking conciliation (7) amicable settlement of dispute (8) sequence to the event.
The writer of Kkachijon seems to have had the intention to satirize the bribery prevailing then and the ancient bureaucrats' incompetency and to criticize the way of the world that attaches more importance to self-protection than to social justice. More concretely speaking, the fact that the second trial was done fairly by an under cover emissary of the king seems to symbolize the wish of general public for the celestial solution of unsolvable earthly troubles. But this short novel has the happy ending and it seem to be in accord with the old novel pattern.
