Just realized that Korean equivalent of the name "Rocky" would be "돌돌이(Doldol-e)".
"Rocky" is a combination of "Rock" + "-y"(name suffix), right? Same goes for Korean. "돌돌이" is a combination of "돌(=rock)" + "-돌이(name suffix for male individual)".
Damn. Rocky's name didn't get translated in Korean, but this would be the one if they did.
life is a b!tch, I'm just going my own way

Episode 5 Mani Mogo 많이 먹어 'Mani mogo' is a Korean phrase that translates to "eat well" or "eat heartily". While it doesn't literally mean "eat a lot", it encourages the person to enjoy their meal and consume a generous portion. The phrase is often used as a polite way to wish someone a good appetite, similar to saying "bon appétit" in French or "guten Appetit" in German.
Chapter 2
Episode 1 Yak-Sok 약속 - Promise Also used with the pinky promise
The Episode between 3 and 5 Pyeong Sang 평상 A "pyung sang" is a Korean low-rise platform, often used outdoors for seating, dining, and relaxation. It's a traditional feature found in Korean homes and gardens, providing a place to gather and enjoy the outdoors.
