SEOUL, December 31 (AJP) - The second season of Netflix's hit South Korean series "Culinary Class Wars" has remained at the No. 1 spot for a second consecutive week since its release earlier this month.

According to the global streaming giant's ranking website Tudum, the series garnered 4.7 million views last week, the highest among non-English TV shows overall.

The previous season also claimed the top spot for three consecutive weeks when it was released in September last year.

With the first three out of 13 episodes released on Dec. 16, the survival show features an intense culinary battle between lesser-known chefs, referred to as "Black Spoons," and celebrity chefs known as "White Spoons."
