Warning: do not watch hungry!

While everyone loves a good think piece turned into a movie or TV show, it would be impossible to watch only something serious.

Although some people view television as a form of education, most viewers turn to the streaming platform to have fun and relax after a long day of dealing with real-life issues.

So this March, Netflix released a perfect K-drama for those who want to escape as far from reality as possible. However, it turns out that this show is not for everyone.

What Chicken Nugget K-Drama Is About?

It's not often that the Korean entertainment industry releases comedies, and maybe that's a blessing in disguise. Focusing more on various romances and historical fantasy worlds with humorous storylines, the filmmakers actually do justice to the genre. Pure comedy, however, seems borderline absurd.

If there's another show like Netflix's Chicken Nugget on television, we haven't found it yet. It's loud and upbeat, very dynamic and colorful, and honestly, unapologetically silly. It's not for everyone, but if your sense of humor matches it perfectly, it might be the best thing you've ever seen.

In truth, Chicken Nugget is a K-drama about unconditional love. The kind of love that drives Choi Min-ah's father and secret admirer to join forces to take care of her and save her from turning into a... chicken nugget. Without thinking too much about it, you wouldn't even imagine how many dangers a chicken nugget faces in our scary world.

Released on Netflix on March 15, Chicken Nugget has already proven to be a controversial piece. While some viewers think it is too unfunny and childish to even try, others looking for something fresh and new within the genre have been pleasantly surprised.

The duality of opinion is perfectly captured by the show's 5/10 rating on IMDb. Users of Google Reviews, on the other hand, are far less divided, with only 6% of viewers willing to recommend Chicken Nugget to others.

As unconventional and strange as a story like this may be, it fits perfectly into the narrative of the modern Internet. The next time you see a meme about loving someone if they were a worm, think of this story and turn into a chicken nugget instead.

If you're in a weird enough mood to try this comedic K-drama, go ahead and stream Chicken Nugget on Netflix.
