The Jongwon Baek's examination of 'Using Eye Masks' worked. 'Black and White Chef' is continuing its enthusiastic response since its release.

Netflix's new survival 'Black and White Cook: Cooking Class Wars' is another competitive program presented by domestic producers on Netflix, which released the fourth episode from the first episode on the 17th. Netflix, which has already succeeded in physical competition programs worldwide through 'Physical100', has also drawn attention in that it has teamed up with Jongwon Baek to create a cooking contest program.

"'Black and White Chef: Cooking Class War' is a 100-member cooking class war in which chefs from Jaeya, who are considered the best for one taste, challenge Korea's top star chefs 'Baeksujeo'. As soon as the 1-4th episode was released on September 17, the mission and unconventional rules beyond imagination are sparking a heated response.



The true match between the black spoon, which has to overcome the class with skill, and the white spoon, which has to prove the class with skill, gave an unpredictable tension. The overwhelming scale of cooking survival, which took place in the vast main kitchen of 1,000 pyeong, exploded with dopamine from the beginning. From the first round black spoon match, where only 20 of the 80 unknown chefs survived, to the 1:1 black-and-white match in the second round, when the black and white spoon faced each other, the fierce competition between black and white chefs who were serious about cooking made it impossible to take your eyes off for a moment.

The fun of watching Jongwon Baek, Korea's top restaurant owner and national cooking mentor, and Ahn Sung-jae, the only Michelin 3 star in Korea 'Massou Seoul' chef, also thrilled viewers. Korea's representative star chef Choi Hyunsuk is sellingWhile he was challenged by Chef Inning's black spoon, the opinions of Jongwon Baek and Ahn Sung-jae are strongly opposed, and explosive attention is being paid to who will survive the fierce cooking class war.



In particular, the anti-war drama that continues until the end is interesting. In the second round, where white spoon chefs and black spoon chefs compete one-on-one, Jongwon Baek and Ahn Sung-jae cover their eyes with eye patches and conduct blind screening. Thanks to the rule of viewing the game only by taste without evaluating the visuals, a fierce judging competition was held, and an unexpected drama was made, igniting an exciting cooking competition. In addition, in the second round, Choi Hyun-suk's steak using the 「Jang Trio" such as red pepper paste, soy sauce, and soybean paste was mixed, and fierce discussion took place with Jongwon Baek and Ahn Sung-jae's evaluations mixed. CHOI HYUN SUK is a great playerWhile facing the black spoon chef in the inning, the results of the head-to-head match between the two were veiled, further raising expectations for the 5-7th inning, which will be revealed a week later.

Interest from overseas as well as domestic is also hot. According to FlixPatrol, an online video service viewing ranking site, 'Black and White Cook' ranked No. 1 for three consecutive days after the first to fourth copies were released on the 17th, and ranked 10th in the world on the 20th. Of course, it is not an official ranking compiled by Netflix, but it is consistently ranked first in Korea, so the overall performance is also highly anticipated.



Only four of the 12 episodes will be released on Sept. 24 for episodes 'Black and White Cooks: The War of the Cooking Classes'. Then, new episodes will come to viewers around the world every Tuesday, from 8-10 episodes on October 1 to 11-12 episodes on October 8.
