Chicken Nugget

We Can't stop laughing so funny. Best movie ever!!! Not sure why people are creating multiple usernames to purposely bring the rating down. Please Don't do that!

The dramatic acting is too funny. The unexpected moment related to current event made is very funny. Wish the heroine gets more screen time. We need part two.

This movie may not be for everyone. Sometimes you need to relax and enjoy so crazy silliness. Many kdrama movies are very predictable but it was not like that t with this movie. That is why this movie is different and funny.

However, too many bad words which are not necessary. The movie is good without them.

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 loved this show! It was so funny and unexpected. The actors were so good and their characters were really endearing. Yes, it's quirky. Yes, it's confusing at times. But I enjoyed it much more than I expected. I have to admit though that I'm not a fan of the usual K-dramas. So, if you love most K-dramas, this might not be your thing. But personally I'm happy to see the writers getting creative and trying something other than two lovers where one has a terminal illness.

ALSO this show was reviewed bombed everywhere. Don't believe the negative reviews, especially the ones that are pissed about the reference to Saudi Arabia. Was that joke offensive? Yes. Was it necessary? Absolutely not. But it also doesn't occur until the LAST 10 mins of the VERY LAST EPISODE. So anyone claiming to be mad "after that episode," clearly did not watch the show at all. "Worst Korean drama ever" is an unfair assessment for a single one-off joke that lasted 2 mins.

Terrific little series. Not everything has to be serious or realistic, and this made me laugh like a drain, though it is also oddly affecting. Excellent acting and writing throughout. Maybe 10 episodes is a little more than necessary but that's neither here nor there.

I've read some reviews in the press and they are, shall we say, mixed but I suppose you either like this kind of thing or you don't.

Most of the negative reviews seem to be fixated on Saudi Arabia somehow being offended. Ignore them, let them get back to their misogyny and chopping off citizens' heads while the rest of us enjoy our Chicken Nugget!

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.
