Traditionally, literary fantasy was considered negatively and excluded generally in Joseon period. However, there were lots of writings which used fantastic imagination written in Chinese characters by the intellectual and noble class in Joseon period；they used the literary fantasy as poetic imagination and episode for everyday life writing like diaries on fantastic dream. This paper analyzed the dual point of view of the intellectual in Joseon period on literary fantasy through researching their writing collections and alsoa nalyzed the topology of the literary fantasy. The first, this paper analyzed the words corresponding literary fantasy；strange(奇), unfamiliar(異), mysterious(怪/恠), ghostly(神), uncertain(愧), unbelievable(虛), queer(誕) etc. And also analyzed their examples amongst their writing like proses and poems. Such words were chosen as fantastic meaning related something suspicious, doubtful, curious, interesting, critic, negative, and hospitable attitude. Such nuance were mixed and fluctuating in each writing. The second, there were remained some critical essay regarding Shanhai jing(山海經), Soushen chi(搜神記), Liao-chai-chih i(聊齋志異) etc. These records showed that the fantasy was regarded positive and general imaginative points amongst the noble class in Joseon period. The third, the intellectual used the fantasy in their writings like these；imaginative motives in poems, ordinary life's curiosity and taste, specific objects should be proved, and narrative logic and structure of a series of narrative genres like novel, yadam, biographies on extraordinary persons. Most of all, the fantasy was regarded some cultural media of noble class as some sort of encyclopedic knowledge. Some series of encyclopedic collections contained some fantastic section；Lee, Ik(李瀷)'s Seonghosaseol(星湖僿說), Jo, Jae-sam(趙在三)'s Songnamjapji(松南雜識), Lee, Kyu-kyung(李圭景)'s Ozuyeonmunjangzeonsanko(五洲衍文長箋散稿), Kweon, Mun-hae(權文海)'s Daedongunbukunok(大東韻府群玉) etc. Such tendency showed that the fantasy was regarded some knowledge and culture which the noble class should know at that time. The intellectuals in Joseon period showed dual point of view on the literary fantasy. They had been considered the fantasy as literary motives and imaginative media continuously in their every day records, poems, and fictional narratives written Chinese characters. And the other hand they strongly criticize the fantasy on the noble genre. Such tendency showed that the literary imagination could be ranked by the characteristics of writers' and readers' group and the confusing view point on the fantasy was the literary reality in that period.
