It’s like taking candy from a baby.This past Wednesday night saw the premiere of three new prime time Wed-Thurs drama to change up the landscape. There was Legend of the Blue Sea on SBS, with KBS airing Oh My Geum Bi, and MBC offered up Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo. I was only interested in Legend of the Blue Sea but oftentimes the domestic Korean audiences has their own preferences that greatly differ. This time they were aligned in wanting to check out Legend as the drama premiered to a fantastic 16.4% AGB ratings nationwide. Poor Geum Bi came in second at 5.9% and even sadder was Kim Bok Joo rounding out the rear at an anemic 3.3.% Whatever the reason for the audience preference, Legend clearly delivered on its high profile leads of Lee Min Ho and Jeon Ji Hyun along with famed PD Jin Hyuk and popular screenwriter Park Ji Eun.
So this is the drama trolly producer Yu Zheng recently praised as better than Goblin…

Legend of the blue sea was so good for me that when it ended I was in disbelief!! Why did episode one go by so fast?!?! Can't wait for next episode!
Wow!!I will try to withhold myself from watching this till it finish airing. waiting week by week is hell.
I was blown away.. Usually I don't like whatever jjh is on but this drama is a must watch... I see them breaking 40 percent. They did so great
Legend of the blue sea definitely captured all the eyes. However I have a feeling Oh My Geum Bi might travel through word of mouth and get more viewers in the future. I can't watch it though as I definitely know it'll be a tear jerker.
Really like the short sweet cameo by Krystal in Legend of the Blue Sea too. Still can't believe how gorgeous JJH looked in the episode, so flawless.
they did well maybe too well.this drama look almost perfect by the first episode but i salute the director PD Jin Hyuk you will forever have my respect DAMN.
all i can say is first episode didnt disappoint at all
Looks like package of DotS repeats, star power + popular writer + decent PD + oversea filming + pre production. And unfortunate rivals from the orther 2 channels, doomed. LOL
Congrats to all the casts & crew of LOTBS, job well done..
Legend of Blue Sea 1st episode is stunning in cinematography and funny, it's easy to follow even when they have those magic con artist,
but I think it deserved the high profile
Oh my geumbi shows a very interested child actress and she is the star of this drama, I hope the story to become better
As expected and the debut rating is way higher than DOTS. I have not checked this drama but with JJH on board, I have already known that it must be a solid one to lure a mega star like her to do a TV drama. Based on the plot and drama quality, will LOTBS surpass DOTS? I could not get passed one episode of DOTS and it would be great to join the fun of drama watching experience of a mega hit drama if LOTBS is really that good.
