With the continuous development of the film and television industry of China and South Korea, the film exchanges between the two countries are gradually frequent, and with the development of feminism, some female narrative films of China and South Korea have attracted wide attention in recent years, but there are few comparative studies on the representation of women in Chinese and South Korean films. The Chinese film SoulMate(七月与安生) focuses on female friendship and tells the coming-of-age story of two girls. Soulmate (소울메이트), a Korean remake, has also been well received. This study first reviews the changes of female images in Chinese and Korean films and the status quo of female films. Then, taking the original Chinese film SoulMate(七月与安生) and the Korean remake film Soulmate (소울메이트) as the center, this paper compares the differences in narrative and image of the two versions of the film through the comparison of culture and female narration, and examines the similarities and differences of female representation in the films of the two countries. It reveals that such narration has a awakening and healing effect on the audience in terms of female consciousness and emotional experience. First of all, this study compares the similarities and differences of female representation revealed by roles, time and space background and events in the female narration of the two films. Secondly, combined with the above analysis, it is found that Chinese and Korean audiences better understand the situation of women in the other country through movies. It is hoped that this study will provide some references for the construction of female images in future remakes.
