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.

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.)

You say simp and the ML from LR and FL from WIFTY will compete to take the call ??
Though they have different genre high school and green flag friendship is what is the most common factor about both of them ?
P.S: Rewatch value 10/10 for both
Watched too many edits of SWDBS ML being the oldest, LR ML being the middle and FL WIFTY being the youngest child. ?

Same male lead and he portrays the same awesome facial reactions and expressions in both dramas, he started of with the cold guy vibe and went to the most sweet person ever. He is so diverse, he starred in Falling into your smile as the female lead's bsf boyfriend.
Both drama go from high school to college and supporting each others dreams and helping through hardship.

This probably won't make sense for some since these dramas really aren't too similar. The only thing they have in common is that they are kind of slice of life and both include romance.
The reason i think you'll like them both is because they give off the same happy feeling for the viewer. I don't know how to explain it better than that really, but give the other one a try if you like one!!

Though WIFTY is a youth drama and LMLMV is not, there's a ton of overlap when it comes to tone and delivery. Both dramas depict extremely healthy relationships between a main pair that is transparent, communicative, honest, and unwaveringly supportive. Both dramas will make you smile in every episode and provide a perfect pick-me-up after a tough day.
