Chicken Gangjeong (2024)

Odd, very odd

This is one of those dramas that is a little bit hard to rate the story is odd, really odd, the overall messge seems to be good something about world peace and stuff... the directing is a bit over the top and to quirky fro my taste leaving with just a little bit to much second hand embarrassment and the need to fast forward...

That said there where a lot of fun K-drama jokes, a decent cast and pretty things to look at.

It is also a drama that may change the way you look at chicken (any type of chicken) for all eternity, or until you have seen enough other dramas to overwrite the damage this drama made.

As for if it will have you longing to eat chicken or never want to eat chicken again will be left unsaid by me.

So basically this is a true k-drama mix of everything odd, prepare yourselves for some quirk and over the top odd stuff and I am sure this can be an okay watch. While it did have a bit to much over the top for my taste I can appreciate the oddness and individuality of this so if you are fine with that stuff and looking for something different this is actually a pretty decent place to find it.

Comedy with a sad ending

I'm literally heartbroken in tears that the girl still wouldn't turn back into human even after 50 years 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 it's because the pair of machines actually belong to four aliens, and one day on their planet would be 50 years on Earth. They would not be able to restore her on Earth immediately, instead they have to take everything back to their planet and recharge the machines. Another heartbreaking moment in the ending is that while the admirer has become a famous singer, after 50 years he met the granddaughter of his first fan (the high school girl who saw him on steet), and the first fan already passed away.

Oddly Enjoyable.

A really unique series. Initially watched it for Ahn Jae Hong and was pleasantly surprised to see that it was created by the creators of "Be Melodramatic". Despite that, the two series are worlds apart.

Story: Unpredictable. Can't call it a waste of time since you don't really get anything of meaning out of most other dramas either. It's perfect to watch when you just want to have a laugh.
I was disappointed in myself when I cried during this series but the writer should definitely be applauded for being able to make a series like this be emotional.
I loved the montage of them talking about "Be Melodramatic" and going as far as to use the OSTs.
The scene of Baek Joong applying anti-septic was hilarious!

Cast: The cast definitely surprised me since most of these actors are well-known and also really good actors. A number of the actors had acted in "Be Melodramatic" as well. Each actor suited the character they were playing.

Music: Pretty good. Some of the songs are in my playlist. (Specifically the theme songs of Be Melodramatic. If it isn't obvious, I really liked that drama.)

Rewatch Value: Not that high.

Overall: Not everyone is gonna like this series, but I found this hilarious. It's different. As someone else said, this could be described as "Peak Comedy".

Surprisingly quite good

The synopsis is so ridiculous that I've to watch it lol...This is epic manga style cringe. So, it's not for everyone, but if you're used to manga, you can kinda close one eyes for it.

I did find some episodes really cringey, yet it's surprisingly nice to watch. There's an actual storyline that keeps me clicking next. It's also such an old-school scifi style of storyline which we haven't seen for a while, so I kinda like it really

I have not read the manga, but it felt like it might be a close adaptation, at least image wise, because, seriously i've never seen such ridiculous scenes in drama before

Overall, I quite enjoy it, had good laughs at some point and the indirect reference to BTS is pretty cool

It's not the kind of show I'll put on top of my list but would be a nice break from the usual drama, kind of to watch something different and shake things up a little.

An absurd but comically pleasing treat

Chicken nugget is a drama about a girl named Choi Min-ah who enters into a machine to relieve her fatigue but ends up turning into a chicken. Her chances of turning back into human rests on the shoulders of her father and her admirer.

The plot is far-fetched and hilarious. Although dramas and movies are people's imaginative and creative write-ups that are brought to life and are sometimes devoid of realism, this drama is too much. A human being turning into a chicken nugget is extreme. Kdrama writers never cease to amaze their audience with the extent of their creative ideas which is sometimes weird.

Nevertheless, this drama is comically satisfying. The entire drama is full of humorous and amusing scenes. Scenes that would make you laugh hard, keep you entertained and happy are what makes up this drama. The dialogues and mannerisms are so funny and would linger on the minds of its watchers for a long time.


Looking for a light-hearted, comedy filled and unrealistic drama to watch? Then chicken nugget is the drama for you.

Absurd Plot, Great Acting

Completely bizarre premise, some good thoughts on human greed and war, outstanding acting of exaggerated comedy. The first half of Episode 9 was especially fantastic and hilarious. There were good laughs, completely absurd situations and characters, and the narration blended situational comedy, exaggeration, visual comedy, thriller, historical elements and mystery very deftly. There were some very funny pop-culture references as well. I did drop it in Episode 9 though because I had read ahead to the ending, which I wasn't keen to watch because it resolved nothing. Still not a bad mindless watch.
