   SEOUL, Dec. 24 (Yonhap) -- "Culinary Class Wars: Season 2" debuted at No. 1 on Netflix's weekly non-English series chart, the streaming service said Wednesday.

 

   The hit cooking competition, released last Tuesday, topped the category with 5.5 million views for the week ending Dec. 21, according to data from Netflix's official site Tudum.

 

   The latest installment features top culinary figures, including Michelin-starred chefs Lee Joon and Son Jong-won, and Ven. Seon-jae, celebrated for her mastery of Buddhist temple cuisine, competing in intense competitions.

 

   Two other Korean series made the top 10. The romantic comedy "Dynamite Kiss," starring Ahn Eun-jin and Jang Ki-yong, followed at No. 4 with 3.6 million views, while the crime thriller "The Price of Confession," starring Jeon Do-yeon and Kim Go-eun, landed at No. 7 with 2.7 million views.

 

   Meanwhile, "The Great Flood," released Friday, debuted at No. 1 on the service's non-English movies chart for the same period.

   Directed by Kim Byung-woo, the sci-fi disaster film garnered 27.9 million views, dwarfing the Norwegian runner-up "Troll 2," which attracted 3.1 million views.

 

    The film depicts the struggles of An-na, played by Kim Da-mi, a single mother of a 6-year-old son who suddenly wakes up in the middle of a devastating flood that engulfs her apartment complex and, by extension, the planet. She fights to protect her young son as she navigates the inundated building.
