Oh My Ladylord's average rating of 1.6% is the second lowest ever recorded for a Korean drama airing on a prime time slot on a free-to-air television network, with KBS2 drama Love All Play setting the new record low of 1.4% a year later in 2022. The first half of the twelfth episode of Oh My Ladylord drew a 0.9% rating, tying with the penultimate episode of Love All Play to become the second-lowest single-episode rating ever (KBS2 drama Welcome saw a lower figure of 0.8% in 2020). Additionally, Oh My Ladylord was the first full-length prime time drama on free TV to never have rated above 3%. Media observers have cited Oh My Ladylord as an example of the downfall of MBC, which used to be regarded as the "Drama Kingdom" in the 1990s.{{Cite web|date=2021-04-30|title='드라마왕국' MBC 어쩌다가…'오!주인님'도 0%대 시청률|url=https://www.hankyung.com/entertainment/article/202104304836H| trans-title =What happened to MBC 'Drama Kingdom'...'Oh!
