Chicken Nugget

THIS IS THE MOST ABSURD KDRAMA SERIES that I seen so far, but I LOVE IT! Every type of movie or series falls into different category who has the same rating system, and this series it has 10 stars in its category, whatever category is.

KUDOS to those who had the courage to see the potential of this webtoon comic and bring it to life "on tv", from the producers, to the actors and the company who release it, and to Netflix of course.

This show has such an absurd idea and plot that only a k-drama series can make it bright and successful. Only they can mix the comedy and seriousness this well. I recommend watching it with open mind and heart and you won't regret it.

BY THE WAY: Those who give this show less that 7 stars did not understand it, those who give it less that 4 did not like it, AND THOSE who give it 1 star... well... I don't want to say that they are from Saudi Arabia and they felt someway offended and I will not say it.

It's quite a funny webtoon based series about a girl who turned into a chicken nugget. The series is about her dad and guy with a crush trying to get her back. Too bad they used Kim You-jeong as a kind of "click bait" to lure people into watching as she had only a very minimal role in the whole series. I would have had different expectations if I had known before hand.

It's funny how the series throws in all kind of themes but doesn't really have the story, time or budget to get into more detail. For example, like any self respecting k-drama, it has a connection with the Joseon era, just like the big boys! But, of course, as with all the other elements, without much depth and not even that useful. In that regard, a lot of themes seem satirical, rather than for the story.

Conclusion: Although a bit clumsy, still worth the watch.

7 / 10.

First of all, even the title's translation is wrong, so I'm not gonna write more than that about this series... The Korean title is "dakgangjeong", which are deep fried chicken pieces covered in a sweet and spicy sauce. That has nothing to do with a chicken nugget.... And even in the series, the chicken bits look more like chicken balls rather than dakgangjeong... I was very confused... That's all about the series, when you can't even get that right, there's no point going any further...

So, Netflix is on a rampage capitalising on Korea, as it has became the new trend.

Recently, there have been tons of webtoon adaptations (Death's game, Pyramid game, A killer paradox, The bequeathed, duty after school etc...), which is just the new lazy and easy way of making a K-series. Webtoons themselves are kind of a lazy way to make a manga.

What I can see in general, is a drop in quality. Years ago, before American streaming companies started mass producing Korean series, I used to think that Korean series were way better than the rest. Unfortunately, this is not the case anymore, and it seems that nowadays, mediocre and second-rate productions for an avid Occidental audience is just the usual.

I literally found it quite funny when I first saw the trailer. I was so damn free that I decided to start watching the show.

Some moments were funny ( yes they were decently hilarious) but the plot is actually stupid. Okay even if the plot is stupid, I accept the insanity but making 10 episodes out of it is what is more ridiculous ( in my opinion 2-3 episodes were sufficient to cover the whole storyline: aliens and machine). It was dragged a lot.

It's quite weird why Netflix invested in such a stupid show, putting the acting, time and efforts of such marvelous actors to waste. Even the supporting actors are good and I think that a better show could be made with such a wonderful caste.

Overall, a waste of time for viewers as well as the artists & staff team.

Korean Drama '' Chicken Nugget '' is a crazy fantasy-sci fi - comedy about a crazy-out-of-the-box adventure.

The drama is short and it manages to handle smoothly the story, which could have been all over the place and become ridiculous quite easily. Hence, the story ends up being odd, yes, but enjoyable enough.

The pace was, in addition, pretty fast, but suited the story. The CGI was pretty good as well. Also, the action scenes were entertaining and well-executed. Moreover, the story had some sensitive-sweet parts which were mostly referred to the family drama.

Finally, the performances were all great by every actor and actress in the cast and the cameos were enjoyable.

So, overall, six out of ten.
