It is said that only individuals with the "spirit language" can possess a pair of Golden Eyes. A simple pawn shop worker, Zhuang Rui, had his own eyes mutated after an accident during a robbery attempt of an ancient Jade carving. His mutated eyes subsequently brought many changes to his life in many unexpected ways he could never have imagined. His new life started after he adopted the pair of special eyes, and his spiritual adventure began. The dragon clan are the only individuals who have access to this power, and Chu Zi is the only person apart from the dragon clan who can utilise this magic power. However, Chu Zi's level of mastery over the pair of golden eyes is not equal to that of the two brothers from the dragon clan, Lu Ming Fei and Lu Wei Zhe, who are also bestowed with this magical gift.

Reviews
Moving on to the story. I will try not to spoil too much. The story started off predictable and nothing much capture your attention. Most of the characters make you feel exasperating. (I will start using their character's name now). MFF character is awkward in the beginning and by the end of the show her character doesn't seems to progress much either. She is suppose to be a clever policewoman but ends up just relying on ZR all the time. As for ZR, he is the Main character of the whole show but i don't feel for him at all when he is sad or angry or whatever which is bad. It means that i am just not into the show. Half is because of his acting and half is the character problem i guess. He is so overly nice to everyone, always forgiving and you know those kind that get betray often and etc that it is kinda boring. He is smart and clever but sometimes it doesn't makes sense how he knows all the answers to whatever problems they are facing but anyhow this is a drama so let's just skip that. HFY/XY the best friend is totally annoying. He likes to butt into everything even when he knows nothing. However i like his character as the story progress, for the very least his character bring some joy and funny moments. At the end of the show i do like him and the way he always say "we as rich guys... " QXB is consider the most believable character and quite okay as the antagonist but the acting part is still awkward especially when she is suppose to be hurt or grieving. It will be too long to comment on each character so i will just stop at these main ones. Btw, if you are looking for romance then look away because this has like 10% only. I can't really feel the chemistry between the two main lead and their progress is so slow. I was like waiting for at least something romantic happen but nothing at all which i kinda feel disappointed as a viewer. Anoher thing i really dislike are the flashbacks. My gosh, these flashbacks take like half of the episodes and worst these are repetitive flashbacks! I watch the same flashbacks over and over again for so many times. I just skip through it and i don't even care if i skip the present part anymore. As the story goes on, it gets a bit interesting in the middle but very soon it gets boring again because of the repetitive pattern. Always on an adventure to search for something but bad guys are always following then they will get caught almost each and everytime then on repeat. In between the different arc of the story, the way the character act sometimes or how the story progress is so illogical that i am just speechless.
Last but not least, be prepare for the ending.
I love the cinematography, I love the music, I love the locations. I love it all - but mainly the characters. Zhuang Rui, Feifei, Fuyun, Peng Fei, Binbing… and even the bad guys who are dangerous and sometimes downright creepy. But mainly, I adore Zhang Yixing’s Zhuang Rui. He’s incredibly smart and hardworking, kind and selfless, brave and full of integrity. And I love how he just… collects people and things along the way, but mostly people, broadening the circle of his friends and found family by trusting them fully - until he can’t, that is. And even then he still gives them a second chance to explain… And I just love him for it.
Also, if you love whump, then this drama is chock-full of it. Once the side-effects of Zhuang Rui’s golden eyes set in, it’s a real ride and Zhuang Rui becomes the Damsel in Distress™ of this series.
So, from my POV, I can wholeheartedly recommend this series. I adore it!
