Historical romance set in the Chinese Republican Era as well, involves a military academy that male lead joins. Characters from both dramas eventually get involved in the war conflict.
In AMA, the female lead cross-dresses as a boy to enrol in the academy, but not in LiFoW.

Both FLs disguise themselves as their brothers and enter a male-only place in order to fulfil their loved one's dream.

Both drama show the bond between friends ,which train to protect the country.
Have similar feeling.
The huge difference is that in AMA the romance is more dominant. TE is more about the development of every character and the difficulties they go true in order to realize their dreams .
Would recommend watching both of them .

Police officer Pang Hong Mei amid the many obstacles created by U.S. and Jiang spy agents, rescued Ji Danyang, a patriotic scientist who returned from the United States from the enemy spy. She accompanied Ji Danyang to Lumen City to participate in the "Water Drop Project". Enemy special forces formulated a sabotage plan codenamed "Operation Rock" and concentrated their forces and tried to destroy the "Water Drop Project." Pang Hongmei and Ji Dan Yang fought a life-and-death battle with enemy agents in Lumen, thwarted the enemy's conspiracy, protected the "Water Drop Project" and finally achieved the expected success. The couple who went through the test of life and death, also realized their dreams and firm ideals.

Both about the army, though different time, similar vibes (three friends fighting together) with some love triangle, both start with light friendship-adventure to later go into politics and plots

When I watched Crash Landing on You, the Arsenal Military Academy drama (Chinese drama) came to my mind due to the military environment and even the people dressed up in both dramas are almost in the same way although the dramas are in different eras.
Both dramas are also different in language and story line but the dramas would be totally giving the same kind of romcom despite of the conflicts they are having.

Arsenal Military Academy is a Chinese military drama but it's very easy to understand their story line. It's a gender bender drama whereby the main actress had to disguise herself as a man in order to replace her brother in the military. I really do love gender bender drama and if you do too, then you should give this drama a shot too!^0^

I think that is similar because it takes place during the same period, at the beginning of the 20th century. In addition we can see the fight of this genration’s youth. I mean the courage that they have to fight for that they want. More over the main female ,in both, is strong and she has honorable values.

FL is only female student at male academy, there to fulfill her deceased brother's wishes . The time period is different but both are historically set.

I know both are very different dramas in a lot of things. Both shares same lead actress Bai Lu. I first fell in love with Bai Lu in Arsenal. Both are equally amazing dramas with great acting, chemistry and plots.

Both drama depicted a female pretending to be a guy in all male environment. The female lead is very good at making viewers naturally accept her as one of the boys, and not a tomboy pretending to be a real boy.

If you like drama series where female lead cross dressing due to certain circumstances e.g. joining military ( Arsenal Military) or palace recruitment (Love in the Moonlight) and the male lead didnt realise until many episodes later that he actually fell in love with a girl.

Both dramas have very very handsome male leads and female leads who looks pretty and also convincing as a young boy. Though the setup, genre, language and era of each drama are different but it is definitely a good rom-com. ???

While these shows are very different, I think there are still some similarities worth checking out.

1. The male lead of both of these shows is a badass who at first has a bit of a bad reputation.
2. Ths male lead is pretty upbeat and loves to tease the female lead
3. The male lead falls first and fully devotes himself to her once he falls
4. The male lead is extremely smart and saves fhe female lead multiple times
5. The female leads are both pretty cool but in different ways. In Story of Ming Lan, she can't fight, but she can scheme and battle indirectly while in Arsenal Military Academy, she can and does fight
6. The male lead gets jealous easily (if your into that)


My favorite part of both shows js the male lead and how he is cool, smart, badass, and most of all, fun. He isn't stiff and boring like so many male leads are. He also genuibly loves the female lead and isnt afraid to show it.

Both shows focus on military training of unique youths - in case of AMA it's a woman crossdressing as her brother, in case of Decoded it's a math genius
