Watching c dramas is in a logic free zone

Yes, this is accurate. There are several actually

A Familiar Stranger is pretty good. I remember it from when I watched it 3 years ago - actually I remember the drama but forgot who the actors were. When I started watching this one, I remember the actor as being the strong silent type. I'm so glad he got a leading part.

The guy had bad intentions and wanted to enter the Yezhou garrison so he feigned injuries to get song tao tao to get him into the garrison. That way he doesn't have to be checked by security. It's a setup
