In the world of TV and film at the moment, it can feel like everything is a bit… samey.
Live-action remakes, reboots of franchises, prequels, sequels, sequels of prequels, a 600th Marvel project, Harry Potter series no one asked for – people are crying out for something truly original to be made.
Well, if this is you, consider your prayers answered and look no further than Chicken Nugget, a South Korean Netflix series which is about a woman being turned into a chicken nugget.
There’s little point trying to explain much more – you just need to watch the truly bizarre trailer below.
The plot synopsis reads: “A woman steps into an odd machine and becomes… a chicken nugget?! Now, it’s up to her father and admirer to embark on a zany quest to bring her back.”
It doesn’t get much original than that.
Created by Lee Byeong-heon, the 10-part series stars Ryu Seung-ryong and Ahn Jae-hong as the father and secret admirer respectively of Choi Min-ah, who is turned into a piece of fried chicken by a magical machine.
Reacting to the trailer on social media, people were unsurprisingly baffled by the show, but certainly seemed pretty intrigued by the unique premise.
One person wrote: “Wtf is this I can’t wait to watch.”
A second said: “The premise of this show is so stupid… I love it.”
Someone else commented: “Not gonna lie, I have to see this.”
“Boy… these series get weirder and weirder and I have no idea how to respond to this,” another wrote.
