They are both school dramas that follow the leads into college and adulthood, even though Meeting You shows much more of the college life, unsurprisingly because it has 4 more episodes than When I Fly Towards You.

Other similarities:

- They both have cold/shy/closed off smart male leads and bubbly, sweet, extroverted female leads.
- Leads only have eyes for each other, but in Meeting You their love for one another is way, way more intense and obvious than in When I Fly Towards You.
- The second leads also like each other but their relationships don't happen until close to the end of the drama, although When I Fly Towards You is much better at handling the feelings of the second leads for one another, in Meeting You it drags a bit too long (it's balanced out with the loving relationship of the leads, though).
- There are small subplots about a third person chasing one of the leads, but they are mostly just used to show that the leads only like each other. In Meeting You, the girl chasing the male lead turns out to be an incredibly sweet person, however in When I Fly Towards You the girls chasing the male lead are very mean spirited.
- They both lack plots with misunderstandings that drag too long, and problems get resolved reasonably and quickly.
- They are both comforting and heartwarming in nature.

A story about the youth of this millennium follows a group of students who encounter ups and downs in the marathon of life. Ma Tian who comes from a well-off family and his goody-two-shoes neighbor An Ran transferred to an ordinary high school during their senior year; where they meet different kinds of people — Lao Gou (‘Old Dog’), Da Lijiao, Mimi, Da Zui (‘Big Mouth’) and Song Jie.

Both are youth-romance dramas, set in school (and out of school), set back in time (both within the 2000s), and both are centered around a close group of friends

Synopsis

The drama tells the story of how an ordinary girl Xia Guo chooses when faced with two different choices, and what happens. The drama is presented in parallel time and space. The different choices of the heroine will lead to different endings.There are the challenges and dilemmas of the big city; but on the other hand, there is the stability and triviality of the small town. In life it is always necessary to make concessions, without fear of loss, and moving forward to embrace that sense of the "extraordinary." If life could have other versions, and the "if" could be experienced, what would it look like? The drama realizes this "if" so that the heroine experiences two lives in parallel. How she will handle those choices is the big question.

"I live elsewhere" (from original title in chinese).

Both have great chemistry between the leads, both have bubbly and extroverted female leads, both have smart male leads, both have a supportive group of friends with all different interests, and both have many comedic moments.

Differences are that When I Fly Towards You is more of a romance than My Calorie Boy as the female lead spends the whole series chasing the male lead and her crush is obvious and adorable to watch while My Calorie Boy has a better best friends kind of base for their relationship. When I Fly Towards You also does a much better job of transitioning through time from their highschool to college to adult lives while in contract My Calorie Boy is almost exclusively just about highschool.

But if you were attracted to the friendships or the slice of life feel then I think you would enjoy both of these.
