The Golden Eyes is such a fun enlightening Chinese drama. Usually, Jdramas have the business genre where the viewer learns the ins and outs of a type of industry. Always done very suspensefully and dramatically, be it banking, soup-making, makeup, publishing, whatnot. Watching this, the Chinese are apparently good at business genre too. I am learning so much about jade speculation, antiques speculation, Chinese porcelain history, grave robbing, treasure hunting. None of this knowledge will probably ever be used by me. But it’s great to know the ins and outs of a thing.
