The main purpose of this research is to look at the common points and the differences between Korean tales concerning the theme of \'One lives on being in my luck\' of Korea and those of China by comparing characteristics of the tales.
The tales of two countries concerning the theme of \'One lives on being in my luck\' can be divided into two categories which are a type of first marriage and a type of a second marriage based on the problem solving processes and the result of conflict between fathers and daughters, and husbands and wives in the tales. As a result, both tales of two countries all showed women\'s superiority to men.
By comparing the differences between two countries\' tales, it is shown that Korean tales tend to constantly feature heros and heroines\' lives who were born with luck and they secure it all their lives. In contrast to it, Chinese tales connect luck to human\'s inward nature and suggest the concept of punitive justice by developing a logic that even though heros or heroines who were born under a unlucky star get chances to change their destiny, they cannot change them if they have problem with their personality.
Furthermore, Korean tales show desirable family unity through creating images of heros and heroines but Chinese tales just focus on desirable example of individual.
