This study used a combination of qualitative research methods and quantitative research methods. By extract, the framework for women according to the Confucian tradition comes from content analysis of literature review, which are four factors; 1) morality 2) to speak politely and appropriately 3) appropriate etiquette appearance and 4) to have skills in own's work, to analyze women from three roles which are; 1) role of a daughter 2) role of wife and 3) roles of mother by record in coding sheet. The results found that five characters are reflecting the image of South Korean women according to the framework of women in the Confucian tradition during the period of democratic and economic development. In addition, representations of women that reflect the characteristics of women who fail to be align with the Confucian tradition were also found from two characters, that can be highlighted. One of the characters in the role of daughter did not have the gentle spoken characteristic and participate in politics activities. Another character, the role of mother, appears that she can have different opinions from her husband and has a role as a leader in the family. The result is consistent with Inglehart's theory that economic and social development affects cultural change in that society. The two-characters failures of the Confucian tradition had financially independent. Therefore, if society wishes to escape from patriarchal society, accelerating economic and social development are the factors that should be considered.
