These two carry a very similar vibe. If you like a male lead that is strong, loyal, decisive, and a bit of a kingmaker then you'll like both of these dramas. Romance in both is more of a side plot than the main focus while political conflicts and rebellions take the center stage. Both have female leads that stand on their own and do not need the men to save them. They both also have an obsessive second male lead.

Major differences are that Journey to love is about a secret mission to save an emperor with a cast of the best from their respective strengths. This motley crew operates in the shadows and are smart, resourceful and the brotherly affection is fun to watch. Destined primarily follows a spoiled rich man as he matures through marriage and the downfall of his family. He and his wife become pillars for their country in their shared loyalty and self sacrifice.

While dramatically different plots I do think that if you enjoyed one then you would probably enjoy the other.

Both dramas were romance fantasy. It is set on historical setting and has supernatural and wuxia elements.

Although both the dramas are set in different time period, they are similar somehow in relation to the investigation and follow-up examination. My roommate is a detective has elements of romance while the Medical Examiner Dr.Qin has very little or almost no romance (from what I recall).
