Korean lore: Traditionally, repeatedly checking a clock has sometimes been interpreted as being conscious of a set time and waiting for something important. It may also be seen as having your heart tied to one concern. (Folk dream interpretations have often connected time with waiting, reading repeated glances at a clock as tension about the right moment.)
