    Season 2 please!

    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!

    Move Over Chef Gordon Ramsey and Master Chef

    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.

    I have never left a review in my life!

    I just had to rave about this show because I LOVED IT SOOOOOOOOO MUCH! Everyone needs to watch it! It's not only incredibly well thought out, but also introduces unique methods of judging, different battle styles, and overall feels much more dynamic compared to similar American shows. The diversity and depth are astounding, making it far more engaging and entertaining.

    As someone who's watched thousands of great movies from Bollywood, Hollywood, Korean dramas, and anime, this show truly stands out as my first in this genre. It's a breath of fresh air! The creative storytelling, intense moments, and unpredictable twists kept me hooked from start to finish. It's rare to find a show that manages to blend action, strategy, and emotion so seamlessly. Whether you're a fan of competition shows or just looking for something new, trust me, this one's a must-watch! You'll be on the edge of your seat the whole time!

    A well-produced cooking reality show with an engaging format, outstanding judges, and talented contestants

    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.

    High-Stakes Flavour Showdown: Culinary Class Wars Delivers Unmatched Tension and Thrills

    "Culinary Class Wars" is hands down one of the best cooking shows I've ever seen! Unlike typical cooking competitions, this show really stands out by building intense tension from start to finish. What sets it apart is watching world-class chefs, alongside hobbyists, truly put their reputations on the line-it's not just a battle for the best dish, it's a battle for pride. The fear and pressure you see on their faces during each challenge is palpable, making it a real nail-biter. The unique judging style is a breath of fresh air, breaking away from the conventional formats of other cooking shows. It brings a new level of excitement and unpredictability, keeping you glued to the screen. Definitely a must-watch for fans of culinary competitions!
