From what others posted, the biggest difference is ML character. He wasn’t as good in the novel — he was a real womanizer and was involved in other relationship(s) even after marriage to FL. Oh, and — as usual with books — FL & ML slept together immediately when she got to his place. And FL in the book got injuried/poisoned before the competition, so she couldn’t even compet again ML. So, basically, lots of changes :)

Usually, Express is the last 4 or so episodes. If anyone has an official calendar, that usually tells tha date.

Or they can do it like The Immortal Ascension where there was practically no romance and comments section had to explain to newcomers that MDL added “Romance” tag in error 🙄😬

All valid points. I’m not mad about this decision (unlike many choices in other dramas), but I guess I was really thinking the truth would come out based on the previous episode. Meaning, I kind of thought ML already figured out who she was based on all the previous things that had happened. But I can see why he would not be sure because everyone is always lying so it’s strange to envision that bad people would be telling the truth 🙄

Haha, so true! Although it’s nice when a drama has heroes get together early on like in “When Destiny Brings the Demon”. The leaves more time for, ahem, “dual cultivation” 🫣😉

That scene was so emotional 😭
And, yes, this better have a happy ending!

So much destruction. Pour one out for all the vases and porcelain that didn’t survive 🪦 💀

MX = Ming Xian = male identify of the FL

Yup, might as well confess fully because ML actually respects her real identity. But, hey, this adds another 5-10 episodes to the runtime, lol

Super sad 😢 and the song is very fitting. Really wish that Netflix would have subtitles for songs because it adds a lot.

Sigh… if only FL confessed fully, the drama would probably have 5-10 episodes less 😬

The biggest compliment that The Emperor could give to FL — in the eyes of ML — is when he claimed that FL was just like The Empress (ML’s mom) 😁

Let’s be honest, this is 75% drama about food and only 25% about music & voiceovers 🤣

I don’t know if it’s necessary C- versus K-drama fans (personally, I find C drama ratings to be lower compared to K dramas on MDL), but there are definitely many examples of organized down or up voting that’s done on MDL, especially on C-dramas. Groups of anti-fans/haters attack drama(s) of an actor/actress they don’t like or simply to downvote a drama that’s being released at the same time as a drama from their idol.
All of this is kind of silly because MDL ratings don’t count for anything important when it comes to how Korean or Chinese companies evaluate their performance.

Yes! I find The First Frost to be better for me (as an older person) compared to Hidden Love. And WIFTY is the best high school drama I’ve seen so far 🥰

I watch dramas from different countries (not just C or K) and “When I Fly Towards You” is the best high school drama I’ve seen, so I’m not surprised by its rating (it’s also from the author of “Hidden Love” and “The First Frost”). “Hidden Love” is immensely popular (book has multiple sequels and The First Frost was a spin-off), it’s not for everyone but the target demographic loves it (I personally like HL slightly less than WIFTY and TFF).

it’s very early on. Let’s give it some time :)

I think the OP was predicting that eventually they will ask FL to come back once they find out she has a great house and when her ex’s new fling leaves him or something like that.

Trailers for ep. 14 & 15 show them working together. Presumably he won’t trust her yet but they are fighting against a common enemy.

Not until events of episode 13.
