Marathon Worthy – Decoded (2016)

This Chinese drama was definitely not on anyone’s radar. I happened to see it pop up while on the Viki website and after reading the synopsis, I had to watch it. The period in which the drama takes place is one of the times which not a lot of information has been told to us here in the U.S. Yes, before you say it, it probably has been sanitized and cleared through proper channels; but life for the Chinese people during the 30-50s is really an unknown period which is why it is so fascinating to watch for me.

Enjoy this rare and infrequent recommendation to a movie that is so totally different than what I usually talk about here. A movie that not only you will enjoy but truthfully, your entire family can watch together!
