Being a part of the Grand First Episode Project.
Emule, Youku
The story of a secret unit trying to decode transmissions by nationalist agents in the early 1950s.
It's set in the 50s, in a war setting, it's dark and gloomy (as the title suggest) and secretive
and full of intrigue (as the synopsis suggests). It's been over a year since I've seen this (I'll
give it another look) and I remember that it was slow-moving, but interesting if you're into the
war/spy genre. The production and acting are quite good.
The language was intermediate to upper intermediate (lots of military vocabulary).

I watched a fair chunk of this a while back - the first act, when they're trying to crack
transmissions between leftover nationalist soldiers and Taiwan is fairly good and can be quite
tense. It suffers a little bit in that its all set at the base and feels very removed from the
action - although they do come under attack on at least one occasion. The second act I found
painfully weak as they basically abandon the eavesdropping and codebreaking and turn it into a
love story, and not a very good one at that. Apparently the third act, about the communist
underground in 30s Shanghai, is the best - but I'd given up by that point.

Watched this last night and it was interesting enough that I am going to watch a few more. Too bad
about the unfortunate turns it makes that made Roddy stop watching, we'll see if I do the same.
The language wasn't all that difficult in my opinion but it moved fast and you have to get used to
what they were talking about before things really could just be "listened" to (ie I found myself
using subtitles a lot just to keep up). But this should be fine but the second or third episode.

I think that it would be a good idea to try and watch the third act immediately. Many people say
that this is by far the best part. I get the idea that it was the third act that made this show so
famous, not the parts before it.
