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.

Both dramas focus on the evolution of a romantic relationship between young protagonists. In When I Fly Towards You, the characters are navigating their high school and early college years, while Put Your Head on My Shoulder revolves around a university setting. In both dramas, the protagonists experience the ups and downs of first love, growing emotionally as they learn about themselves and their feelings.
Similarity: Both dramas capture the innocence, confusion, and excitement of young love, with a strong coming-of-age component as the characters mature through their experiences.

Both shows capture the youthful period of the leads, one through the lens of the female lead and the other through flashbacks to a past documentary the leads participated in during highschool. They both make you feel nostalgic and both show have a real soul behind it where you can truly connect to each character.
Same strong healthy, unwavering relationship between the main leads. No stupid misunderstandings and break-ups. Very cute and fluffy!! In Love O2O, male lead chases female lead, but in WIFTY, it's the other way around. No second lead syndromes. Love O2O takes place in uni entering society, and WIFTY starts from high school.
Both dramas are set in modern times during youthful school years of the main cgaracter's lives. They share a common theme of slice of life and romance.
Closer to you is focused on building relationship with someone you really regret not talking much to.
The male lead chases the female lead and we get to hear his inner-monologue of regrets and hope.
When I Fly Towards You is focused on the present experience and going through the years together.
The female lead chases the male lead and mainly we see her perspective in this drama.
They both talk about the experience of a youth and share a plot of overcoming difficulties and differences together.
(Really recommend checking the other drama out if you liked this drama. The main reason is because its set in school setting and focus on slice of life.)
