Meeting You (2020)

same FL, Both ML are cold , Meet in highschool attend college together
Sweet story, ML popular on campus,

• Wan Peng as a Bright, Fun Female Lead, who falls for a Cold, Shy Male Lead
• Both showcase the progression of their life and love from High School age to College years
• A friends-to-lovers story with a Happy Ending

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.

The story is also school setting. The Male lead is also same in character more reserve kind and the female lead is also the happy and energetic one.

similarities:
- chinese drama
- roughly the same episode length (~30 mins)
- school setting

differences:

- "meeting you" also takes place in college
- the male lead in "meeting you" suffers from haphephobia and social anxiety
- "meeting you" is a bit of a slow burn romance

Both show is a School setting. I just love school setting tv shows.. and If you want to watch more of the male actor. Accidentally in love and meeting you has the same actor.. and I just like how his transformation in acting.. from one thats very cool and arrogant type in Accidentally in love to a reserve kind in Meeting You ...

This two dramas are really similar:
-Both drama has smart ml
-Both drama ml helps the fl to study
- Both drama are friends to lovers
- Both drama is high school to university
- Both drama fl has a little brother
- Both drama has healthy relationships
- Both drama has second couple
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TWO DRAMA.

Female actor is same. Her role is also quite same in this both show.. I just kind of admire how she became more beautiful now in Meeting you.. looking forward for more of her shows! Both Meeting you and When we were young are also School setting.. <3

Same actress as FL. Feels similar as she feels a strong pull to protect the ML due to his visual impairment. He is quiet and attracted to her personality as it is opposite to his. The relationship is building similarly.

Both are dramas set in school with one of the leads an introvert and the other a more popular study. Both MLs are very smart and help the FL study.

Both dramas have childhood bonds and growing together
Both dramas have a ML from an under-represented group (i.e. differently- abled - physical and mental )
Both dramas have sassy FL wanting to protect the ML
Both MLs are quiet and protect the FL in their own way
Both are school dramas.

-Similar age (High school & University Students' love story)
-Both MLs are smart & brilliant , and most importantly, they see only the FL in their eyes
- Both FLs are cute and active but poor in their study and need ML help
-The bright sides of these two dramas are showing pure Teenagers and their spirits in respective field

Similar high school & university story
Both FL are active & initiate to become friends with cold MLs
MLs fall in love with FLs eventually
Both MLs have handsome visuals & special skill in respective field

Born smart, Nan Xi never struggled with academics in school, but his time there wasn’t easy. Living with social anxiety, he struggled to find his place in a world that always felt too big. Often overwhelmed by life swirling around him, he would be forced to retreat into himself. He wanted friends, but found that reaching out and connecting with others, was all too daunting.
Xia Rui, an exuberant, talkative girl, is a true social butterfly. Surrounded by friends, she was often the center of attention, resulting in a school experience vastly different from Nan Xi’s. They existed in what seemed like two different worlds, where their paths were unlikely to cross. That is, until fate intervened!

Once strangers, now the best of friends, this unlikely pair has only drawn closer over the years, their friendship slowly blossoming into love. Can they continue to enjoy a lifetime of happiness together, despite their being total opposites?

School setting to adult life. Youth dramas. Characters support and help each other. Very likeable characters without as much of the scheming SLs.
