Fans are already expressing their excitement over seeing Kim Yoo-jung back on the small screen in the upcoming Netflix K-drama series Chicken Nugget. However, aside from playing the lovely daughter of Ryu Seung-ryong, she will also portray an unlikely role this time—a chicken nugget. The new preview for the much-awaited new series shows the My Demon star’s special appearance before she turns into a favorite fried food.
Netflix has dropped a new batch of stills for Chicken Nugget, hinting at how Seung-ryong gets crazy after seeing her daughter’s unexpected transformation. The first preview shows the Miracle in Cell No. 7 actor with his apprentice, Ahn Jae-hong, and both have surprising looks on their faces. Seung-ryong then seems to be losing his mind after Yoo-jung gets lost in a bunch of chicken nuggets. But despite the crisis they’re now facing, Jae-hong looks relaxed as he starts playing his guitar.
Yoo-jung is then seen looking happy as she’s about to enter the mysterious purple-door machine, not knowing she’s about to turn into food. In another still, the fan-favorite K-drama actress appears contented before the bizarre incident happens. Jae-Hong and Seung-ryong are again together as they find a way to return Yoo-jung to her human form. For the last preview, the two guys appear determined to do everything to protect Yoo-jung as they don their fighting gear, complete with helmets and cabinet doors as their shields.
