This article compares Mujeong (1917), a representative work by Lee Kwang-Soo, and To Tam (1925), a work by Hoang Ngoc Phach. This study focuses on how Korean and Vietnamese authors depict free love in modern novels. Intellectuals in Korea and Vietnam felt the need to 'reform the country' in modernizing the country and valuing the family, the country's basic unit.
They were concerned with respect and love between husband and wife and spread the idea of creating a modernized family and free love.
Mujeong and To Tam are typical novels in modern Korean and Vietnamese literature, expressing criticism of traditional marriage customs based on Confucianism and supporting the ideology of free love. In the novel Mujeong, Lee Kwang-Soo strongly criticizes the current marriage system as a 'cruel marriage system' through the main character's dialogue and argues that monogamy should be the social norm. In the work To Tam, the male and female protagonists all have modern education and have their parents choose their betrothed. Instead, they fall in love, engaging in a 'free love' relationship. Sadly, they get separated, and the heroine eventually dies. Hoang Ngoc Phach raises questions for readers about the evil customs of the marriage system by fully expressing the emotions of tragedy and sadness caused by separation and death in his novel.
