Chŏn Uch'i chŏn

Chŏn Uch'i chŏn (Korean전우치전; Hanja田禹治傳; lit. 'The Tale of Chŏn Uch'i') is a classic Korean novel featuring a historical figure named Chŏn Uch'i, who lived in the mid-Joseon period. Most of the novel consists of Chŏn Uch'i using Taoist magic to do something. It is a novel that adequately combines excitement and seriousness, as it evokes the reader's interest by developing the events in the novel through Taoist magic while also using Taoist magic as a means to express a sense of criticism of reality.
