These relatable themes are one of the biggest reasons readers become so absorbed in the series, feeling as if they're reading their own story, and eagerly await each new volume. The author explains that while some material is drawn from adult imagination or news reports, the stories are actually written based on real accounts submitted by elementary school students. Tanghulu, kalguksu, ramen, and rolled egg—kids' favorite foods appear on the Goblin Restaurant menu! In this volume, the restaurant's mysterious owner, Dohwarang, prepares tanghulu (candied fruit skewers), kalguksu (knife-cut noodles), ramen, and rolled egg—dishes that are both familiar and hugely popular among today's elementary schoolers. These beloved dishes are transformed into one-of-a-kind, custom-made creations using fantastical ingredients: fruit picked from a forest deep within the heart, mysterious golden powder falling from a golden hairpin, fresh vegetables, and eggs laid by a long-tailed hen living in a mysterious field behind a closet door. The vivid descriptions of the cooking process—stimulating all five senses and the imagination, and making mouths water—are one of the book's special delights. Comforted by Dohwarang's cooking, children grow a little more each time. Dohwarang's cooking doesn't simply solve the characters' problems with magic. In truth, it's the children themselves who find the strength to solve their problems. There's Yeonsu, who learns to look inward and honestly express her own feelings before worrying about her friends' hearts; Jinsu, who persistently and patiently works to catch the leader of a crime ring without giving up; Yeongsu and Dongsu, who realize that happiness comes from focusing on what they're good at and what they love, rather than envying others; and Seora, who has worked diligently every day to achieve her dream.
