- Multiple identities
- Wuxia, politics, power struggle, war

To protect her family's noble title, He Yan, the eldest daughter of the He family, is forced to don a mask and pose as the family's eldest son, "He Ru Fei." As a young girl, He Yan first meets the brilliant scholar Xiao Jue at Xianchang Academy. Determined to escape her family's fate, she leaves the academy and heads to the battlefield.

Years later, He Yan returns home as a celebrated hero, only to be betrayed by her family when her brother He Ru Fei reappears. Surviving the treachery, He Yan assumes a new identity as He Yan, the daughter of a city gate officer, and disguises herself as a man to join the military in Yezhou, vowing to reclaim everything that was taken from her.

In Yezhou, He Yan befriends the gentle and refined Chu Zhao and once again crosses paths with Xiao Jue. However, Xiao Jue suspects He Yan of being a spy and constantly tests her. Despite his suspicions, He Yan clings to Xiao Jue and proves her abilities by becoming the top soldier in Yezhou's defense force. Through various trials, including the Sun family incident, the Ji Yang Princess affair, and the battle to defend Rundu, the two face life and death together and gradually come to understand each other's true feelings.

Both dramas have:
~strong female leads
~hidden identities
~adapted from a source(manhua or a novel)
~female warriors
~genres(romance, wuxia, historical, action )

Same actress, great fight scenes. Male lead is dominant and is always there to rescue the female lead. Both has the female leads with prior relationships that gone wrong before finally getting with the male lead.

One of the best. The leads have chemistry over the roof. Check out Ep 20 for a classic scene. It may be long but so worth it.?

Love both dramas.

Both dramas have a ML and FL who end up travelling the continent together to solve a big conspiracy.
Both dramas have a childhood connection between the ML and FL.
Both have a strong female lead who have a hidden royal connection,
Both have great fight scenes with pretty good vfx.
MLs are gifted, intelligent, and composed.
FLs are tenacious, unyielding, and benevolent.

So far WRTW has a similar vibe to LOFY. A pair travels or runs into each other at different destinations and solve the city's problems on the way to solve the bigger arc that affects the entire continent.

Ashes of Love has amazing CG animation, in combination with its torturing romance between main characters, and complex storyline. You see the development of the main leads, how they grow up with each other and taken different paths. The love story between the two main characters must go through many challenges no only from parents but also other love rivals...

- Both FLs are witty and mischievous but also strong and caring to their friends.
- Both FLs share the same destiny to destroy the world
- Both MLs are smart and scheming and they were both prodigys from a young age
- Both dramas have really good chemistry but the romance in the legend is more subtle
- Both dramas have a good balance between fantasy, politics and romance.
- Both were high budget in their time but Kdramas generally stage better battle scenes
- Both dramas have vast fantasy elements and adventure
- Both dramas have interesting characters and a theme of friendship
In general I think The Legend is the most similar to Legend of Fuyao

- FL learns martial arts on a secluded mountain
- ML comes to the mountain and disrupts the peace
- Resulting in the FL (with a companion) leaving the mountain and at some point meeting ML again
- ML has mysterious (royal?) background
- characters travel around their world meeting friends / people from different countries/sects
- somehow getting into a treasure hunt for a "big secret" that is going to be revealed
- FL is getting stronger along the journey

LOFei did mention Fei being adopted at some point, but later this was not a topic anymore while the story resolved more about the ML background.
LOFuYao was the other way around.

Gutsy fl with a painful past and a flirty ml who loves nothing more than to just keep looking at her adoringly. Political intrigues, secrets, fights and some dashes of romance.

Fantasy, Historical, Royalty, Divine Powers, Finding mystical objects, Fight scenes, Strong female lead.

Both Female leads share similarities on their braveness, also the background. Both of them climbed up the ladder from the very bottom.

In terms of FL acting, I find Empress Ki to be more domineering and realistic.

-Flirty ML
-Strong FL
-Play fighting
-FL and ML both skilled in martial arts
-Bickering relationship
-ML pursues FL

The main lead in Flipped is in Legend of Fu Yao. He acts as the personal bodyguard of Wuji. His character is way better in this.

ML and FL meet multiple times in LOFY and in different lifetimes in TOE and the second life of the mains really remind me of the Legend of Fu Yao.
