韓國偶像劇中的歌曲運用與閱聽經驗分析：以《我的女孩》、《原來是美男》、《秘密花園》為例

Abstract

本研究探討韓國偶像劇歌曲在戲劇中的功能，並分析相關的閱聽經驗。歌曲可以增進女性觀眾對於劇中女主角的投射，增加對於劇情以及劇中人的同理心，進而產生更深刻的感受。音樂分析的結果顯示，主歌與副歌在音量織度、旋律輪廓、配器、節奏、和聲上的對比，可以用來襯托戲劇情緒與情節的進展。在歌曲的戲劇運用方面，筆者分析音樂與劇情、情緒、鏡頭的關係，結果顯示，歌曲較常運用在「外內型」的戲劇情境（由外界刺激引起內心情緒），襯托悲傷情緒，而歌曲出現時較常搭配主角的臉部特寫。在閱聽經驗的分析中，筆者對九位熟悉韓劇的女性觀眾進行生理訊號測量，以估計他們在欣賞韓國偶像劇時的情緒變化，結果發現，詼諧的劇情或男主角帥氣的舉動都傾向引起觀眾的顴肌收縮（微笑），主角為愛犧牲或觀眾感受到劇中人的愛與關懷時，多數觀眾的手指溫度增加，而主角傷心欲絕的臉部特寫則讓多數觀眾的手指溫度下降。本研究初步勾勒出歌曲在偶像劇中的戲劇應用模式，並且藉由客觀的生理訊號測量，指出未來研究閱聽行為的一個新方向。

This study looks at how songs function in idol Korean dramas, and analyzes the visual and aural perception of these songs. Songs in Korean dramas help to increase female viewers’ identification with female protagonists, as well as increase their empathy towards the plot lines and the characters involved, thereby creating a stronger impact on the viewers. Musical analysis revealed that the contrasts in texture, melodic contours, instrumentation, rhythm and harmony between verses and choruses help reinforce plot developments and emotions arising from the drama. An analysis of the interrelationship between music, plot lines, emotions and cinematography techniques revealed that songs are more often used to reinforce the sorrow during “outside-in” situations (i.e. inner emotions stirred up by external circumstances), and are also often coupled with close-up shots of the protagonists’ faces. Finally, physiological measurements collected from nine female viewers knowledgeable of Korean dramas were used to analyze visual and aural perception, in an effort to gauge their emotional shifts while watching Korean dramas. The results show that humorous plot lines or manly actions from male protagonists evoke contraction of the zygomaticus major (i.e. causing them to smile); when the protagonist makes sacrifices out of love, or when viewers feel love and compassion on the part of characters in the drama, a rise in finger temperature in most viewers is detected; and close-up shots of a heartbroken protagonist cause the finger temperature in most viewers to fall. This study paints a preliminary picture of how songs are employed in Korean dramas, and offers a new approach for future studies in visual and aural perceptions through the use of objective physiological measurements.
