However, whenever the village schoolmaster tells stories on the leading figures from the Joseon Kingdom, the students become totally engrossed. The historical tales that may easily become boring are retold in such an interesting way as if a grandfather were telling stories of days gone by. The cartoon was featured for eight years from 1982 in the monthly children`s magazine called `Treasure Island`.

They are a rowdy and noisy bunch and all of the family members are experts in martial arts. Not a day goes by without any of the six siblings or their parents making some kind of trouble. Through the stories about the lives of the Goh family, a warm sense of family is depicted. The cartoon was carried in 1992 in `Renaissance`. Hwang Mi-na has published works of various genre including boy-meets-girl cartoons. `Red Moon` published in 1999 was chosen as the Cartoon of Today.`
