Arsenal Military Academy

Both FLs pose as boys to enter an elite school. Both MLs are a bit silly and teasing. Both are historically set dramas, although GIC has fantasy elements that AMA doesn't.

both are set in the chinese republican era (gorgeous colours and sets :)) and both have amazing chemistry between the leads

They both have the same feeling to it with badass FL even though they have different plots. Both are great series anyway I don't really know how to make a recommendation so bye.

Both Arsenal Military Academy and The Tale of Nokdu are cross dressing dramas done right. And both are historical genres

XuKai is also the ML here. Both are during the 1900s era.
Lost in Kunlun is more like an action/wuxie style with the story about five sects and Jiang Hu but AMA is more lighthearted (at least the beginning) and with the story about the military school life.

While Tientsin Mystic is more on the supernatural side of things, it does share a similar ambiance to that of AMA.

Both have:
- well-written and developed characters
- eye candy...lots of eye candy, people
- a thrilling and cohesive storyline/plot
- strong friendships/camaraderie/squad goals for days
- slight romance (more like the subplot)
- production value is top-tier/cinematography is aesthetic asf
- fantastic chemistry between the cast
- both take place in the 1930s/1940s
- great action sequences/fun antics
