This study will be the precedent research for Park Kyung-Ri's many romantic novels in earnest. It investigates how the writer considers the woman's image and reflects her thoughts through the method to realize the woman in her description of love. Park Kyung-Ri's romantic novel seems to follow a melodramatic formula, but those are beside points of the romantic novel's characteristics. First of all, there is no happy ending, such as love in family or love for a wedding. Her female characters, whom Park Kyung-Ri creates, do not seek forgiveness or regret after a love failure. Of course, it does not mean the possibility of new values about love immediately. However, this point is the reason why a reader interprets the meanings of her romantic novels carefully. 'Saintess and Witch' and 'Love Song' emphasize the innocence of love, such as existing romantic novels, and ask to connect between the innocence of love and personal physical innocence. Existing romantic novels assume that the effort of love is a happy marriage, but Park Kyung-Ri's romantic novels show that real love does not belong to the marriage system. Moreover, she stresses the love is not limited by the marriage system. The problem she says in her novels is the double standards of the woman in society. A woman's sexuality is divided as a procreation function and a pleasure function, and those two functions stand against each other. 'Saintess' and 'prostitute' are two types of female repression, and both are nothing but an otherizing. Since Park Kyung-Ri shows how to consume and exploit the woman's image through two conflicted female characters in her novels, it has a role to criticize the double standards about the woman in society. Two female characters in 'Saintess and Witch' and 'Love Song' are embodied as conflicted images through a tri-angle relationship by male characters, but both novels are beside a formula of saintess' successful love and punishment witch. They deny the existing formula by showing how witch characters keep their innocence of love and how saintess characters fail to save their family and love. Park Kyung-Ri's romantic novels mainly ask the following questions; what the meaning of the union of love between man and woman is, what the real love is, and what innocence is. Those questions can introspect the double standards and marriage system critically, disclose how women were suppressed at that time, and offer a motive to consider what the moral and free union of love is.
