Bonus cute daughter Su Xiao Tong is also in Young Blood

These dramas are similar to each other in the autopsy and forensics side. If you want to see more similar you could watch all the series of Medical examiner Dr. Qin. There are more than ten and I am sure you will enjoy them.

It's a whodunnit just the same though romance does take a backseat. Also about a woman entering a profession as the first of her gender in a male dominated industry. Has a lot to do with betrayal of close friends but of the male leads. It's quite interesting how similar the two are. Both female leads are intelligent and strong, charismatic characters that never give in or up on their mission to find the truth.

In both of these series, the female leads are rational and are good at what they do. Jun Jiu Ling is smart and schemes with life as a whole while the imperial coroner does her job well and has a good head on her shoulders for deducting cases but can be a little naïve when not on guard. They portray strong characters to strangers and the outside world but have allow themselves to be comforted by their counterparts when they are having a breakdown.

The male leads in both series express their feelings pretty early on. They both have their own three musketeer group and really trust those around them. I like that both couples work hand-in-hand and serve as each other's support.

Both are great underrated historical dramas that definitely shouldn't be overlooked.

Both are really well made and highly enjoyable dramas about Coroners/Forensic Medicine in Ancient China and Crime Investigation. Both have capable and smart characters who don't mess around, and the plot is carefully designed and fast-paced, not a single second is wasted. I wish there were more dramas like this.
About Judge of Song Dynasty, don't hesitate because it's an old drama. Only the camerawork/color palette is dated (actually better and consistent than some dramas these days) but everything else is really good and holds well against time.

High-quality period detective drama with a similarly small, focused cast, tight plot, and case-solving structure.

Want to watch a real storyline then this is a way better pick.
Even the cover is similar to the Imperial Coroner poster

Recommended by 2ndLeadsBest
Both involve a smart FL who has an ability to solve mysteries by using her skill and mind. Both have enemies around them that they can't see just yet and both have to deal with a scandal and conspiracy that with both FL and ML plus friends help solve who's th real antagonist at the end.
