Both feature complicated family relationships and unorthodox ways to remove a child from an abusive situation.
They're similar in the way that a large portion of the audience will absolutely hate the drama and the characters, because they don't exactly adhere to the usual romance kdrama tropes and make questionable decisions. Like The Interest of Love, even when the characters make decisions that are "bad" or that viewers dislike, there is no indictment of their actions, nothing that indicates directly to the audience, "this character made a bad decision, and is therefore bad." The characters actually feel sorta real, or sympathetic at the very least.
Unlike The Interest of Love, To My Beloved does not have as much commentary on classism or work culture.

plot elements and settings are pretty different, but they're both the same type of tragic love story: destined lovers with loves doomed from the very beginning.
Both are slice of life, slow burn romances that deal with grief and have good soundtracks.
Main differences:
- Meet Yourself is set in a rural village while A Piece of Your Mind is set mostly in a neighborhood in Seoul. Despite this, A Piece of Your Mind still has that slow, cozy, peaceful feel.
- A Piece of Your Mind is more purposefully dramatic, in typical kdrama fashion.
- Meet Yourself has characters spanning a wider range of ages.
