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.

Both include a character from a Manga coming to life. Pop Out Boy is much better in terms of quality and writing.

If you wished that she somehow ended with Holo at the end instead and love a good robot/human romance, you should definitely watch "Are You Human Too?".
