Shiguang Dailiren Fanwai Pian: Biwu Zhaoqin

At the Time Photo Studio, partners Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi accept jobs of a peculiar nature. With the aid of their complementary abilities, they are able to leap into photographs—thereby entering the past. One such case involves Liu Siwen, whose only wish is to marry his one true love, Ou Yang. However, her martial arts master father is apprehensive of a suitor who is an outsider and refuses to give his permission unless Liu Siwen defeats him in an honest duel.

After years of trying and failing miserably because of his less-than-impressive skills, Liu Siwen finds himself seeking the help of Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi. The two hatch a plan to outwit Ou Yang's father, but what seems simple in theory is rarely as easy to execute in reality…

This episode was pretty good, but nothing too special for this series. If anything, it almost feels a bit outlandish, focusing on a love story that's sweet at its core, but executed in a way that makes it feel like it comes out of some martial arts story. It's not bad that the show is branching out a bit, even if it means it's trying to do a plot that makes less sense the more I think about it, and one that leaves a couple of loose threads that make me wonder why they had certain plot elements in the first place.

Still, this is Link ... Click, and it includes some surprisingly solid fight scenes and has a decently satisfying ending. It may not be the most memorable thing this series has produced, but it has some swagger, and if you enjoy the season, it's worth watching.

This is a common practice I've noticed with Chinese ONA series, doing an X.5 episode somewhere in the middle of the show. Not sure why they do this, if it's some way to say the episode is optional or just a way to make it harder for database sites like MAL to track without creating extra separate entries like this one, we may never know. It does give me the opportunity to review an individual episode rather than the series as a whole.

Link Click is already a very episodic series, so the setup here is very similar to any other episode. The story has a ... brilliant twist I won't spoil, but it does a great job leading you on the entire time. The ending is a happy one, but still someone poignant when you consider how many years were wasted on the pursuit of love when they could have just been together the whole time. It's supposed to show his sheer determination but I think the morality of it might be a little skewed.

It's a great standalone story, and even in isolation would have been a good watch with just a little knowledge of how the time travel mechanics work for context. I think it's really an embodiment of all the themes from the main show. Living for the future, not dwelling on the past,the power of love and familial connections, all of that. Good watch 8/10

I won't spoil in this review, but I recommend you skip this special. It isn't good and isn't related to the main plot at all.

You can expect the same level of quality all previous episodes had during the first half. The setup was good.

Then the 'twist' is revealed and it turned into the stupidest story of the year. The message it tries to convey isn't bad, but the story unfolding like it did lacks logical sense.
The resolution to the entire dilemma was both confusing and underwhelming. I still have no idea why things ended like they did.

I think more context is given after the conclusion ... in the form of letters. Sadly, these are not translated.


Nothing stops you from watching the episode, but if I could go back I would tell myself to skip it.
Maybe watch it when you're done with the anime.
