The first episode of "The Legend of the Blue Sea" recorded a higher number than Park Ji-eun's "My Love from the Star" and "Descendants of the Sun".

According to Nielsen Korea, "The Legend of the Blue Sea" on the 16th rated 16.4% while KBS 2TV "Oh My Geum-bi" rated 5.9% and MBC "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo" rated 3.3%.

It is outstanding that it hit such high numbers on its first episode.

These days it's hard for a drama to even make 10% during weekday prime time but "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo" did it like it was nothing.

It surpasses "Descendants of the Sun" and "My Love from the Star" which were the most successful dramas of their time.

Meanwhile, "The Legend of the Blue Sea" is a fantasy romance drama about a mermaid meeting a genius fraud and getting used to life on land.
