The premise is a rags-to-power setup with a supernatural ledger attached. Ethan opens as a delivery rider crushed between his mother's ICU bills and a wife who has taken the money and sided with a richer man. The crash is the turning point: rather than killing him, it awakens the Eyes of Death, a sight that reads the true value of objects and counts down the lifespan of every person around him.
The series runs 30 episodes in English, with the opening stretch playable on the official YourChannel player. That opening stretch covers the ICU crisis, the betrayal, the crash, the awakening of the Eyes of Death and the first steps from the pawnshop. The later rise into high finance and the reckoning with the people who ruined him are left to the show.
The power is economic before it is dramatic. The opening arc starts at an underground pawnshop, where the ability to spot hidden treasures lets a man who had nothing begin to accumulate wealth one undervalued find at a time. The official setup points to a larger trajectory — the rich heir who humiliated him, the ex-wife who stole from him, and a financial world he is about to disrupt — but the opening stretch stays at the bottom, where the gift is new and the enemies are still out of reach.

Ethan, Sarah and Lucas carry the opening arc.
A food delivery rider whose mother is in the ICU and whose wife has taken the medical money and left him humiliated. A brutal crash should have killed him; instead it awakens the Eyes of Death, letting him read the true value of every object and see a lifespan countdown over every head.
Ethan's wife, who takes the money meant for his mother's ICU care and humiliates him alongside the rich heir Lucas. The opening arc frames her as the domestic betrayal that makes the crash — and the power that follows — feel like a second chance.
The arrogant rich heir who sides with Sarah and uses her to humiliate Ethan at his lowest point. The opening arc establishes him as the entitled class the rider will one day have leverage over, without showing how that lands.
Four editorial picks from the opening urban supernatural arc — the lowest point, the crash, the Eyes of Death. No ending spoilers.
Ethan opens as a delivery rider with his mother fighting for her life in the ICU and the medical money already stolen by his own wife — the baseline from which everything else rises.
Sarah takes the money and sides with the rich heir Lucas, and the humiliation is public enough to make the domestic ruin feel like a class injury as well as a personal one.
A brutal car crash should end Ethan's life, but it spares him and awakens the Eyes of Death — the sight that reads object values and lifespan countdowns over people.
His second life begins humbly, at an underground pawnshop, where the power to spot hidden worth turns a man with nothing into someone who can read value no one else sees.

Written from the opening arc. These are editorial impressions, not audience scores.
The Eyes of Death work because they are not a combat power — they are a valuation power. The tension comes from knowing what something is really worth before anyone else does, which suits a revenge story built on money rather than fists.
The show is careful to make the opening genuinely dire: ICU bills, a wife who steals them, a rich heir who watches the humiliation. That makes the pawnshop rebirth feel earned rather than granted.
Best for viewers who like urban supernatural revenge, a fallen everyman handed a second-chance power, and a slow climb from pawnshop to high finance. If you want a soft romance, the opening arc is heavy with medical debt, domestic betrayal and comeuppance anticipation. The lifespan-countdown device is the show's signature hook.
