The object of this thesis is to compare the motif of ‘letter’ and the visualization strategy between Iwai Shunji's novel and his film , Asada Giro's novel and Song, Hae-Sung's film . Iwai Shunji's novel and his film describe Hujii's story who failed her first love relationship, and Hiroco's story who can not be able to forget the passed away fiance. But the novel shows how Hujii and Hiroco overcome their sorrow of parting through exchanging mailed letters on an equal footing. On the other hand, the film focuses on her inner healing processes that Hujii got to know the truth of first love and affection of family. Especially, the film expresses the theme well through the cinematic technique such as montage and cross cutting. Asada Giro's novel and the film are commonly searching for a woman's unconditional love which changes a man's pitiful life. But the novel emphasizes a emotional effect of the letter which Failan' courteous and thankful letter draws flaring anger and blame for the violent reality from the protagonist Goro. On the other hand, the film equally focuses on the ruined life of Lee, Gang-Jae and the ill fate of foreign worker Failan. Also it effectively expresses the love of between the two which transcends time and space through the cinematic technique such as long take, cross cutting. In conclusion, on the one hand the film and accept the storyline and the theme of the original works, but on the other they are successfully differentiated from the original through the director's new interpretation and image grammar.
