The first record on Man-deok is found in the texts of 「Seungjeongwonilgi」 and 「Ilseongrok」. Later, Chae Jae-gong wrote 「Mandeokjeon」 and gave it to Man-deok, and as a result, the full story of Man-deok was created. The first ``Man-deok Story`` was created with the object of praising her life, but over the lapse of time, the focus of the story was moved to the effort of a person named ``Man-deok`` to overcome her social standing as a ``gisaeng.`` This is closely linked to the historical situation in those days. In the Chosun Dynasty that was a stratified society, it was almost impossible to overcome the barrier between classes. In this situation, Man-deok`s story, which overturned the common idea, was naturally interesting to the ruled class. King Jeongjo spread the story widely and utilized it actively as a tool of his governing. The focus of interest in Man-deok`s story was ``the relief of starved people`` at the beginning but was moved to ``social mobility,`` and recently, people`s interest has been changed to Man-deok`s business talents. This reflects today`s trend sensitive to ``economy.`` In this way, Man-deok`s story is changing in response to historical situation. Fortunately, Jeju Special Self-governing Province is making various efforts to spread Kim Man-deok`s story mainly through the Kim Man-deok Memorial Foundation. As evidenced by the failure of KBS Drama , however, it is hard to create an excellent work from fictions having a shabby story structure based on Kim Man-deok`s accomplishments or acts. It is because such fictions do not reproduce elaborately Kim Man-deok in Jeju during her days, Kim Man-deok in the historical situation of the early 18th century, and human Kim Man-deok. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary for relevant organizations or institutions to have Man-deok`s story restructured by a writer highly recognized by people. Not to mention 「Sangdo」 and 「Haesin」 written by Choi In-ho, there are many cases that highly popular original works were reproduced successfully into media. Thus, we need to start new discussions on desirable directions for the storytelling of Man-deok`s story in a way of appealing to people.
