Netflix is debuting a Korean drama that centers around a family’s experience when the daughter is turned into a chicken nugget.
Just when you thought you’d seen it all, a new show presents itself on Netflix. The show is called “Dakgangjeong” and was approved after being proposed to the streaming giant’s Korean division. Netflix has seen booming success from many other wildly-themed shows that were generated from the region, and they have high hopes for the viewership that “Dakgangjeong” might draw in, according to Gamereactor.
