Lee Min Ho’s The Legend of the Blue Sea is pretty much a certified blockbuster. After only premiering a couple of weeks ago, the new Korean drama is on course to outshine extremely popular titles like Park Bo Gum’s Moonlight Drawn By Clouds and Song Joong Ki’s Descendants Of The Sun.
As Soompi reports, Nielsen Korea’s viewership stats show that the new Lee Min Ho drama claimed close to 19 percent of the audience in its time slot during its most recent episode which aired on December 1. According to Soompi, this means that Legend has received its highest ratings yet and this percentage is about 2 percent higher than the numbers the drama received for its fifth episode
The Legend of the Blue Sea is broadcast by Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS) and has completely dominated its competitors on the other channels.
Nielsen Korea stats indicate that Oh My Geum Bi on KBS attracted 5.5 percent of the audience and Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo got 4.6 percent.
As Han Cinema reports, the reason for the success of the sixth episode of The Legend of the Blue Sea could be Lee Min Ho’s romantic confession scene.
During the scene, Min Ho’s character takes Jun Ji Hyun’s character to a ski resort. After a touching moment where he helps her with her shoes, he hugs her and says “I love you.” Cue the swooning of millions of Lee Min Ho fangirls around the world. According to Han Cinema, that scene alone garnered about 25 percent of the audience viewership for the time slot.
