The flashbacks of KWKD are quite similar to MCB in that the ML is overweight and the FL his best friend who he has a secret crush on. Both MLs later lose weight and the FL is surprised that they are handsome.

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.

Supportive and adorable friendship between classmates, good and smart ML trying their best to teach the FL, best class teacher which genuinely wish the best for their students.

Similar some minor friendship and family issues make you realise you actually have a precious youth during school. A fun watch for both and these dramas will make you cry for some little frienship and family moments.

I think this drama is very different from others with the same genre. It takes unexpected twists and turns.
The brother hood between Ye Miao and Ye Lin was a highlight in this drama. How they both loved and cherished each other. Xia Rui was a lovable and kind character. She was straightforward at the same time. Shen Zhen is self-centered and cunning person, especially towards Xia Rui . I think drama is worth for watching.

Both leads are best friends for a long time and so close to each other. Lead girl is having crushes on other guys while lead guy try to help her whenever she needs it while his feeling for her grows in time.
Lead characters are really playful once they are together in scenes just l?ke in this serie! as if they are out of animes.
Both are high school youth ser?es and it has many funny moments like this one. Chemistry was also as good as this one<3

Both dramas follow a group of childhood and school friends as they experience family and school issues and crushes on each other. Both leads have a bickering but very close relationship long before they fall in love.
