Romantic novels of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties were widely accepted by the people of Joseon Dynasty with its unique and fixed mode, yearning and idealized storylines. Love stories in the late Joseon Dynasty mostly absorbed nutrients from those novels, so reading love stories of the late Joseon Dynasty would have a familiar feeling, for love stories of the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties had a profound impact on romance novels in the late Joseon Dynasty. Currently researches of academic circles of the two countries have been just focused on their own unilateral love stories or romance novels, and there are not many papers that combined the two types of novels to have comparative studies. This paper topic is based on the perspective of comparative research, through studies on the creation background and the general situation, typified master image building and narrative patterns of romance novels in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties and love stories in the late Joseon Dynasty, as well as the inheritance and development of love stories created by Korean literary men in the Late Joseon Dynasty, to compare and analyze relevant circumstances of the spread of romantic novels in the late Ming and early Qing to the love stories in the late Joseon Dynasty and the reference of the love stories in the late Joseon Dynasty from romantic novels in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, thus to highlight the influence of gifted scholar and beautiful lady novels in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties on the creation of love stories in the Joseon Dynasty.This paper mainly takes young men and women love themes and scholar beauty novels in late Ming and early Qing Dynasties as well as love stories in the late Joseon Dynasty with fixed patterns as comparative research object. Stories of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies are a large number of novels that emerged in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, which is a branch and a genre of human novels. The late Joseon Dynasty novels were influenced by the stories of scholar and beauty, occupying a certain position in the Korean literature history. There is a close relationship between the emergence of the novels and the life experiences and creative mind of writers in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Literati living in the dynastic change of Ming and Qing Dynasties, some may make a meteoric rise, and some may have a bad time, feeling hopeless of fame, dispirited and discouraged, so they relied emotions on novels to seek for spiritual comfort. In the effects of complex political factors of "Ren Chen Dwarf Chaos", "Ding You Chaos" and parties struggles in the late Joseon Dynasty, civilian class consciousness was awakened, impacting on the ruling class hierarchy, and the thought of physical science began to be shaken, in addition to the eastward spread of Chinese classical novels, secular novels became popular. In view of the plot structure models, gifted scholar and beauty novels and love stories both follow a fixed routine. Gifted scholars and beautiful ladies determined their relationship by "poetry expressing" and the process of their combining would encounter various obstacles (the development pattern of "the course of true love never runs smooth"). When those obstacles were excluded one by one, gifted scholar and beautiful lady would naturally tie the knot (the ending mode of "happy reunion"). From the image building of typified characters, the images of gifted scholars, the images of beautiful ladies and the images of villain all appeared as typified characters. In addition, love novels in the late Joseon Dynasty had a breakthrough in terms of female subject consciousness of Chinese novels about scholars and beauties, which was determined by the internal factors of the Korean society.The formation and development of the love stories in the late Joseon Dynasty were deeply influenced by Chinese novels about gifted scholars and beautiful ladies. Both plot construction mode and typified image shaping can see traces of Chinese scholars and beauties. Due to the special historical background of late Joseon Dynasty, its love stories had a breakthrough from Chinese novels about gifted scholars and beautiful ladies, which is the inevitable result of the development of Korean ethnic literature. The historical fact that Korean literature used the experience of Chinese literary style for reference proved the close contact between the two countries in culture, which is destined to leave a splendid mark in literature and cultural history of the two countries.
