SYNOPSIS

For Yesoon who is a devout Protestant , the Bible is her own life. Going to church and praying are not everything for the missionary works. She feels pity for people who do not believe Jesus, so she try to do missionary work by doing her best. One day, she found a pretty bible book which is owned by Joonhee who is very rich. She stole the same book in the store with no guilty after she found it. She got more confident after she got the bible book which makes her more sincere believer. Even though she brought the book to the church, no one treats her with speciality. She went back to store to take the book after she found out that she misunderstood her belief. The worker of the bookstore asked about the reason why she returned the book and she answered without guilty like this. " There is nothing to change after having this bible."

DIRECTING INTENTION

Among, Korean Protestants, one of the biggest problems is the ignorance of the Bible. With the obvious belief of the Bible, Protestants have their message " Preach bible message to the end of the Earth" and try to do missionary works. As "Your Babel" is kind of the satirical drama, it suggests to think of prevalence of Irrationalism in Korean churches. Korean Protestants who were forced to be ignorance without recognition have built their own beliefs in double-standards of the churches. They believe Jesus and try to preach His words, but their behavior is not like Jesus at all. The corrupt faith for the same believers seen by Yesoon who is very innocent without rational missionary work. Who will throw Yesoon with a stone?
