Looking for not too dramatic historical Cdrama recommendations, preferably late Qing dynasty.

Hi everyone~

I am taking a class on Chinese Modern History at my university and I thought why not combine studying with my drama addiction? I also wanted to try out a good Chinese historical drama for some time now, so this is a good opportunity! (I started Hua Mulan a few years ago, but I lost track of that one) 

So what are your recommendations for Cdramas set during late Qing(1860?) until 1940s? I'm not really a fan of very dramatic (makjang-esque) storylines. If it's a little historically correct that's also a plus! 

If you have recommendations for really good dramas set in another time, please tell me about those too!

Lastly, preferably only recommendations that have been subbed, as my Mandarin is still very much beginner's level... ^^;

Thanks a lot in advance!! <3
