SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA: Buckle up for a K-drama unlike any other! 'Chicken Nugget,' a side-splitting fusion of comedy and mystery, premiered on Netflix, on Friday, March 15.

This quirky series, based on the popular Naver webtoon of the same name, stars the hilarious trio of Ryu Seung-ryong, Ahn Jae-hong, and Kim Yoo-jung.

The story centers around Cho Min-ah (played by the ever-charming Kim Yoo-jung), a seemingly ordinary young woman whose life takes an extraordinary turn. One fateful day, Min-ah stumbles upon a mysterious purple machine.

Curious and a touch impulsive, she decides to take a peek inside. Little does she know, this innocent decision is about to transform her world in the most bizarre way imaginable.

In 'Chicken Nugget' Episode 2, a delivery guy recognizes the machine that turned Min-ah into a nugget. He sheds light on its origin (200 years old, unique material) but not its function.

The professor who built it is missing, adding a layer of mystery. The search for a cure continues!

Episode 2 of the Netflix K-drama 'Chicken Nugget' delivers a glimmer of hope (and a whole lot of new questions) for Choi Min-ah's transformation back into a human.

The episode picks up where the last one left off, with a frantic Choi Seon-man and Baek-Joong desperately searching for answers about the mysterious machine that turned Min-ah into a chicken nugget.

A seemingly innocuous delivery becomes a pivotal moment when the delivery guy, Mr. Kim, recognizes the machine.

Mr. Kim's reaction is a mixture of shock and awe. He reveals a surprising connection to the machine, having volunteered with Professor Yoo on the very project that developed it. 

While Mr. Kim can confirm the machine's origin (a 200-year-old device built with a unique, perhaps even magical, material), he remains clueless about its function. He further complicates the situation by sharing Professor Yoo's tragic backstory.

The professor, apparently deeply affected by many traumas, has vanished, leaving the machine and its secrets behind. The discovery adds a layer of sadness to the mystery, hinting at a Professor driven by grief and the potential for unintended consequences.

Despite the seriousness of the situation, the episode doesn't shy away from its comedic roots. The tension of the high stakes (a daughter trapped as a nugget!) with Mr. Kim's quirky personality and the absurdity of the entire situation creates a hilarious yet heartwarming dynamic.

The audience is left with a cliffhanger, as Choi Seon-man and Baek-Joong are left without Professor Yoo's contact information, and their only lead seemingly vanished.

However, Mr. Kim's knowledge is a crucial piece of the puzzle. The machine's origin and its connection to an emotionally distraught scientist hint at a deeper story waiting to be unraveled.

Will they be able to track down Professor Yoo and unlock the secrets of the machine? And what other surprises does this bizarre invention hold?

One thing's for sure – the quest to return Min-ah to her human form is far from over, and 'Chicken Nugget' promises to deliver even more laughter, suspense, and perhaps a touch of the supernatural in the episodes to come.

'Chicken Nugget' is available for streaming on Netflix
