Basic Info.

The story begins when Dooly, a little dinosaur, comes to live with Go Gil-dong and befriends Chul-soo, Young-hee, and Hee-dong. Later, two more characters, Donner and Dooch, join the group, leading to various comedic mishaps in their neighborhood. One day, Dooly and his friends embark on an adventure around the world after they drift to the middle of the sea on a small boat with Hee-dong.



Additional Info.

"The neighbors of Go Gil-dong initially perceive Dooly and his friends as talking animals and are astonished. Over time, they start to regard them as children. The fact that Dooly and his friends freely wander the streets without raising suspicion might imply that Dooly uses magic to influence perceptions. Dooly is a keratosaurus, a type of dinosaur. In an interview, the author admitted that Dooly's mother was drawn as a brachiosaurus due to a mistake in remembering the character's species."
