Please recommend me something like those two. I rarely watch cdramas since they have too many episodes per season, but i got hooked on it because of those two. 

Is there any dramas like that, preferably not too focused on the romance. Maybe subtle or just moments of romance are okay. 

Here's a bunch of dramas that are, more or less, similar:

Joy of Life
The Dark Lord
The Ancient Detective
The Legend of Awakening
The Legends
The Silent Criminal


+ if you want to watch absolute masterpiece, try Nirvana in Fire. 

Nirvana in Fire - super agree with above comment. Ita a masterpiece thus i also highly recommend it. 

Joy of life +1


... in addition to dramas mentioned above:

  • The Longest Day in Chang'an
  • Wuxin: the monster Hunter
  • Nirvana in Fire 2
  • The Untamed
  • Republic Era:
    • The disguiser
    • Sparrow
    • Arsenal Military Academy
