The show, which premiered on March 15, stars Ryu Seung-ryong as Choi Sun-man, trying to turn back his daughter, Min-ah (Kim Yoo-jung), into a human after being turned into a chicken nugget. Alongside Ahn Jae-hong’s intern, Go Baek-joong, they embark on a comedy-mystery series to solve the case, all while Go Baek-joong deals with his feelings for Min-ah.
Jung Ho-Yeon plays Hong-cha, Korea’s best food columnist and Go Baek-joong’s ex-girlfriend. Meanwhile, Jinyoung stars as Yoo Tae-young, the older brother of a side character on the show. Netflix revealed that Go Chang-suk of Glitch and Today’s Webtoon fame would also cameo as Go Baek-joong’s father, while Moon Sang-hoon of the series D.P would star as Jung Hyo-bong, a character with connections to the machine that turned Min-ah into a chicken nugget. Other stars set to make appearances include Yoo Seung-mok, Kim Tae-hoon, Hwang Mi-young, Kim Nam-hee, among others.
