If you didn't wake up today thinking you needed a series about a woman who suddenly becomes a chicken nugget in your life, we're here to surprise you.

Netflix has released the trailer for Chicken Nugget and it simply must be seen to be believed.

The elevator pitch? It's the surreal tale of Choi Sun-man (Ryu Seung-ryong) whose daughter, Min-ah (Kim You-jung), indeed transforms into a nugget after tinkering with a weird machine. (Of all the things to turn into! Gregor Samsa at least got to be a cockroach.) With the help of his intern Ko Baek-joong (Ahn Jae-hong), who pines for Min-ah, Sun-man has to figure out how to turn her back into a human.

Directed by Extreme Job and Be Melodramatic's Lee Byeong-heon, Chicken Nugget looks like a wild ride. Next time you go for a nugget, is it your own child?

Chicken Nugget is streaming on Netflix from March 15.
