What is the most original American program you have seen on TV recently? I can’t think of any. They are either first responder procedurals, reality shows, family sitcoms, remakes, or dramedies. So the same old, with different casts and backgrounds.
Well, Korea got us beat with Chicken Nugget. A bizarre comic-mystery drama, the series takes you on a rollercoaster ride with Sun-man (Ryu Seung-ryong) as he navigates an absurd mission: To rescue his daughter, Min-ah (Kim You-jung), who has turned into a chicken nugget after a mishap with a strange machine. Along for the wild ride is Baek-joong (Ahn Jae-hong), who has a secret crush on Min-ah.
How brilliant is that? I bet the studio heads are kicking themselves in the chopsticks for not coming up with something like this. So I am sure they will copy the concept, and turn the sweet and sour chicken nugget a Buffalo Wing.
But, first, they have to watch it on Netflix with us starting on March 15th.
I am going to be watching. Are you going to sit down at the dining table with me?
