Even though the drama peaked at 47 points, one of the highest for TVB dramas during that time, many had expected the drama to reach 50 points for the finale and a higher overall rating for the series. It is likely that the 8:30 time slot had an effect on the overall ratings as many people in Hong Kong do not return home from work until later, which is why dramas placed in the 9:30 time slots tend to have higher viewership ratings. This decision was originally in part due to Gun Metal Grey, the other anniversary series airing at 9:30, being deemed too violent and mature for the earlier time slot. Also, the plot of the finale was leaked in multiple tabloid magazines weeks beforehand. In addition, streaming was just becoming popular, with TVB's online service MyTV releasing new episodes hours after live broadcast for the first time. The drama attracted an unprecedented additional 3,739,955 clicks within the following few days on MyTV, 5 times runner-up Some Day, and the highest ever in MyTV record. Each episode attracted more than 1 to over 2 million clicks on average.
