Get ready for an incredible K-drama on Netflix called Chicken Nugget, which follows a parent whose kid is transformed into a chicken nugget and is a must-watch.
In addition to brand-new episodes of fan favorites like Squid Game and Hellbound, Netflix has a lengthy list of impending 2024 K-dramas that includes a long-gestating K-drama. For those who aren’t die-hard fans, the plot of Chicken Nugget could appear completely unexpected and strange.
Based just on the title, one may assume that the K-drama’s plot is clear. But everyone was taken aback by Netflix’s unexpected choice to turn a well-liked webtoon into a live-action series centered around delicious chicken nuggets.
Initially revealed in 2022, this adaptation is set to premiere in 2024, promising an unexpected culinary twist to the K-drama scene. Here’s everything you need to know about Chicken Nugget from the cast, its celebrity cameos, storyline, and release date.
Chicken Nugget: What’s the K-drama about?
The boss of a small machine company learns this daughter has been turned into a chicken nugget and tries to make her human again with the help of his employee.

The main character of Chicken Nugget on Netflix is Choi Sun-man, who owns a tiny equipment business named “More Than Machine.” They suddenly acquire an enigmatic machine one day, and they assume it’s a medical professional’s fatigue-relieving equipment. Fascinatingly, the gadget was scheduled for delivery the next day.
Sun-man receives a visit from his daughter Choi Min-a on the day the equipment is delivered, along with some spicy and sweet chicken. Weary, she decides to give the machine a try. In an unexpected turn of events, Min-a finds herself changed into a spicy, sweet chicken. The girl said that she had caught a glimpse of the chicken moments before the machine went into action.
Sun-man, realizing but not believing what has happened to his daughter, asks his staff intern for assistance. Proceed, Baek-joong. Because of his intense, unrequited love for Min-a, Baek-joong would do everything it takes to get them out of their terrible situation.
