It's been a long time since I watched a cooking reality show. I've always been wary of shows with too much drama, contestants making dishes that are too ordinary, or judges whose insights into cooking aren't deep enough, sometimes overacting during their critiques.

But I'm really happy to say that this show doesn't give me those feelings at all. The production is refined and thoughtful, and the two judges are truly the heart and soul of the show. Their styles are different, but their understanding of food and their deep expertise are impressive. Their critiques are precise and often bring a smile. The contestants include some true culinary talents who not only have great skills but also unique perspectives on cooking.

I particularly like judge Ahn Sung-jae. Even though he's critiquing the dishes, his underlying cooking philosophy is worth savoring. Among the contestants, my favorite is Edward. Although he's a bit older, his dishes are filled with personal stories, cultural empathy, and imagination, making him shine. Then there's Triple Star, whose cooking skills are superb, combining refined techniques with concepts from global cuisines. Plus, he's just as good-looking as Song Joong-ki!

Even though I'm not involved in the culinary world, I'm glad I watched this Korean drama.

Watching this series really was refreshing. It was a unique take on cooking competition and had me hooked. I was so into it that i mark the dates where the next episode comes out. Each round of the competition differed dramatically and were surprisingly fair... The judges are quite the deal. The set, lighting, camera work is beyond perfect... Some of the dishes (and chefs) are beyond perfect that you question if its a show or scripted ?? One of my favourite rounds were restaurant round and black spoons vs while spoons. Give it a go recommend 10/10. (i even made an imdb account to post this review! Hehe)

No drama,no backstabbing, no political statement, no jealousy just pure talent and honest judgement .At first i was sceptical this would be another reality show full of drama just to get more views but i was wrong. It's hard to find this kinda reality show nowadays. The two finalist gave their best and evenly matched. Hopefully they'll have Season 2 and maintain the same judging criteria and the contestants have the same attitude. This kinda reality show focus solely on cooking talent, nothing else. For me everyone is a winner, they gave their best and did it from bottom of their heart. Well done chef's,don't give up!

Whomever is producing these Korean Shows, you're doing a fantastic job. So much more in production value than any ohter American made chef show. Just the production set at the beginning is fantastic., let alone the individual cooking areas. I watched both of the Physical 100 shows. They were both great. The reason I didn't give it 10/10 is because they reduced the 80 to 20 to quickly. BTW, I've only watched two episodes and will bing watch the rest.

If you like cooking shows, if you like Master Chef shows, I think you will like this also. Very well produced.

To Erik_Surewaard. Please don't write a reveiw than not rate it. It is obvious that you are a fanboy of Master Chef and any other kind of chef production will not hold up to your standards, no matter how good. Do you think the first person who opened a fast food place will sue every other fast food place that opens? That's rediculous. There is always room for more chef shows.

Thank you for your time.

"Culinary Class Wars" on Netflix is an absolute delight! I gave it 9 stars because it's such a refreshing twist on the typical cooking competition shows. While some compare it to MasterChef, I completely disagree-this show stands out with its unique concept. It's funny, competitive, and keeps you on the edge of your seat.

The decor and rules add an exciting flair, and I loved seeing the diversity of Korean cuisine showcased. The chefs are all so likable and bring an extra layer of enjoyment. I also love how the jury decides the winner-they sit in a cave, which adds such a cool, mysterious vibe!
