Netflix’s cooking show “Culinary Class Wars” Season 2 came to an end Tuesday, leaving behind more than just a winner and a 300 million won ($203,129) prize. While the competition was fierce, it also felt like a warm message to everyone working hard in their own lives. At the center of this emotion was the contest’s winner Choi Kang-rok. For over a decade, Choi had been known to the public as a specialist in braised dishes, a label that brought him fame but also proved to be a burden as he tried to live up to that image. In the final round, he finally broke free expectations. After winning, he moved many viewers by revealing his inner exhaustion, saying, “I wanted to rest from being the 'Braised Man' for just one day.” It was a special moment of honesty from a master who had spent years focusing only on one thing, keeping his stress hidden. Choi won the title after a tough battle against Lee Ha-sung, who was nicknamed "Culinary Monster." But the true success of this season lies in how it respected the hard work and persistence of ordinary people who give their best to their job
