Moreover, many fans believe that the show will get back up and record double digit scores as it heads into its second half of broadcast.

Although the show plummeted for 0.2% in its latest episode, the work still continues to receive an all-time high score, much to the team's delight.
On the other hand, Ji Chang Wook promised to greet fans at the Jeju Airport duty-free store once the drama receives a whopping 20% rating.
