It achieved the number one viewer rating for tvN's first Monday-Tuesday drama, and was also ranked in the top 10 list of tvN's first drama. Since then, it has been steadily rising without a drop in ratings, and has maintained its first place in the same time period even after two competitors began airing.[11]
