The Be Melo meta in Chicken Nugget is strong.

At my last count, I could identify maybe six members of the Be Melo cast that also have roles here in CN. How many did other Nugget Nerds identify??

I also consider the OTT swearing to be Be Melo meta. If y’all remember there was a meta even in Be Melo about how much swearing they could write into the drama before the censors called them out on it… There’s a mini-commentary on the “Teen Swearing” scene in the comments.

But last, but not least…THE SONG!! And Ahn Jae-hong’s deadpan, “You can stop.” The most meta of meta. Such delight. There’s sound below, and here in this direct link.

    One of these is the subs for the original language and the other is the CC-subs for the dub. I just can’t get over the subtlety of the distinctions these translators are making when your options are the words “fuck” and “shit.” 🤣

    Hahaha love this! I saw part of a scene where they played the song in the van n i was stoked to see the Be Melo reference.

    On the dubbing, do you watch the dubbed version of the show?

      I have watched Chicken Nugget three times, once each dubbed and subbed and once (the third time) comparing the two directly!
