On June 4, Good Data Corporation released the Top 10 most buzzworthy dramas and actors of the adjoining week for May and June. While the series itself topped both drama lists – TV and TV-OTT, the fantasy romance's leading cast – Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon also stood atop the most buzzworthy performers of the week list for the fifth consecutive time. Meanwhile, much-loved supporting cast member Song Geon Hee claimed the 7th spot.
