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.

Young girl Chu Chu came from a family of coroners. She meets Prince Xiao Jin Yu, a dignified prince in charge of criminal lawsuit who appeared weak and sickly. Prince Xiao lacks reliable manpower to investigate case, while Chu Chu lacks people to step up, take charge and be a man.
Together, they manage to unravel a shocking case that has dragged on for 18 years. After solving the case, she won the Emperor's approval and is finally certified as the Imperial Coroner, fulfilling her life goal.

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

Although Go East is more comedic, both sramas are about two sets of couples solving cases, with one couple doing all the fighting and the other couple doing all the thinking.
