SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA: Netflix's latest comedy mystery drama, 'Chicken Nugget,' features a quirky and unexpected storyline.
The series, helmed by Lee Byeong-heon, is adapted from Park Ji-name Dok's Naver webtoon of the same name.
The show centers on a bizarre scenario in which a businessman named Choi Seon-man (Ryu Seung-ryong) tries his hardest to restore human consciousness to his daughter Choi Min-ah (Kim Yoo-jung), who has transformed into a chicken nugget after entering into a machine.
Choi Seon-man is astonished to find that Baekjung is the owner of the machines
Seon-man has been fighting to get his daughter back ever since she changed into a chicken nugget, with the help of his intern, Go Baek-joong (Ahn Jae-hong).
Yet, despite their efforts, the enigma surrounding her metamorphosis persists. That is until Baek-joong finally discloses his true identity.
The episode begins with Seon-man and Baek-joong fighting Baekjung and his crew, as well as Yoo In-won (Yoo Seung-mok) and Yoo Tae-man (Jeong Seung-gil), in a three-way showdown.
Baekjung insisted on taking command of the machines, citing his ownership, yet he adamantly withheld the real story behind himself and the mysterious machinery responsible for Min-ah's bizarre transformation into a chicken nugget.
To avoid further upheaval, the man finally confesses that he and his crew are aliens who have been living on Earth for the past 200 years. The shocking revelation left both Seon-man and Baek-joong stunned.

Upon Baekjung's revelation of his ownership of the machines, Seon-man finds a glimmer of hope. However, their optimism is swiftly dashed when they realize that the machines have run out of energy and require taking them to a space station for emergency reserve.
Upon this realization, Seon-man and Baek-joong plead with the alien to assist them in restoring Min-ah. After much persuasion, the idea of transporting Min-ah to the alien world is proposed as the only viable solution to cure her perplexing condition.
Baekjung explains that he'll take the chicken nugget with him to transform it into Min-ah, adding that one day on his planet is equivalent to 50 years on Earth.
Both Seon-man and Baek-joong were taken aback by the recent revelation, which suggests that they were only able to see Min-ah after 50 years had passed. This implies that Seon-man might not have lived to see his daughter again.
However, after realizing that there is no other solution to the problem, Seon-man chooses to send Min-ah with Baekjung to transform her back.
