This paper examines the cultural meaning in terms of the border transgression of text which arises through the process of remaking video content such as TV dramas in other countries, using a Japanese TV drama “Haken no Hinkaku” and its Korean remake “Shokuba no Kami”. “Haken no Hinkaku” is a TV drama which formulated social consciousness in the motif of the change in employment practices in Japan, such as labor dispatch. When it was remade in Korea, the social consciousness did not just project the real world, but covered the relation outside of the text, functioning as a motive of a stir in society, or evocation of public opinion. In this paper, the point where the social consciousness arises was studied by the comparative analyses of the text in both TV productions. It revealed that the original work had been transformed into a dissimilar TV drama by the shift in the characteristics of the protagonist. As a result, it has become certain that a remake gives new significance to the original by ‘localization’ of the original as well as reproduces it in the capacity of cultural practice.
