Description of Work:

I chose "Two Travellers" for project 2. The reason why I chose this story is that the narrative, settings, and characters are very similar to the Korean folktale that I read when I was young. I thought it would be interesting if I could make it a different version from another region. Also, the contrast between characters, protagonist against antagonist (with their characteristics, their act, and ending) was clear enough to visually develop how both characters are separated. 

It is based on the story of two travelers and the story shows the different endings of two-character depending on how they act. The protagonist, the good one has shared everything with his partner and he gets betrayed by the antagonist losing both eyes. However, miraculously he cured his eyes and he also cured the ill princess as well (he listened to what three birds talk about magical dew that could restore the vision of a blind person, and also about the plant that could heal princess). On the other hand, the antagonist heard about what the protagonist experienced so he tried to do the same thing as what the protagonist did to cure his eyes and princess. But when he arrives he gets punished (losing his sight) by three birds that noticed someone heard their discussion.
