Ever since the series made its debut in April, 2021, Link Click has become one of the most talked-about popular modern donghua titles. It has been created by Li Haoling, and the series is being produced by Studio LAN and Haoliners Animation League. Because of the interesting premise based on fantasy and time-traveling elements, it stood out and gained popular at a rapid pace.

The story is about two main characters, Chen Xiaoshi and Lu Guang. They have a unique supernatural ability to be able to enter a photograph and relive a moment from the past. While their missions usually sound simple, the consequences end up adding up. Over time, the story of Link Click has rising stakes.

The first season set the foundation of the rules that the duo had to follow while time-traveling. Then came the second one, in which the story focused more on the emotional and psychological complexity. Finally, before the third season starts, fans got to watch Bridon Arc, which added to an important backstory that reshaped the story.
