The time lines of the three plays were connected from the middle of the 1920's to the beginning of the 1950's. With these plays, this paper analyzed the changes of Mopko from Japan's colonial rule to the Korean war. The result of the analysis is as follows:
First, in Mokpo through the 1920's was illuminated as an exogenous impact and developed city and a space full of pervasive brute force of modern capital, and was the first play dealing with Mokpo concretely. Second, in Lost Spring> Mokpo through the 1930's was illuminated as a modern city of commercial and economic activities and was a criticized community full of the stream of decadence.
