Both are built on a classic rivals-to-lovers trope. The leads are forced to pretend they hate each other in public while lowkey hiding huge crushes behind the scenes.
- Destiny Seeker centers on rival university dorm heads feuding over campus competitions, driven by dorm politics and secret crushes.
- Match Point drops it into a family feud between rival dim sum shops and uses forced teamwork (a forced tennis doubles partnership) to push the leads together.

Both dramas share a strong aviation setting and revolve around characters working in the AIRLINE/AIRPORT industry
Both shows feature the inner workings of aviation life—Blossom Through the Cloud follows a female lead aiming to become a pilot, while Where Stars Land centers on airport passenger service operations (and a male lead who originally dreamed of being a pilot).
Both dramas feature a driven female lead navigating industry challenges alongside a reserved/aloof male lead who secretly supports and guides her.

I believe both have this connection regarding the past life and everything. The revenge and all those stuff…
I just found both released in the similar timeline and having a ‘similar vibes’
Same goes for Destined with You…
