"we can't change the past. dont question the future, as the future will change because of us." ─ lu guang

story: 10/10, link click isn't necessarily a show about thrilling action and the deep sci-fi structure of time travelling - it's a donghua about the hardships in life: the things from our past that still causes us regret till this day in the present. it could be personal matters revolving around friends and family or devastating things that no one could predict.. realistically, past is something you can not change - but protagonist cheng xiaoshi has the power of diving back in time through photographs (the ... gold of preserving memories) and the goal to make no one regret what happened in the past as much as he's not allowed to change it.

art: 9/10, there are times where it isn't consistent but it's completely okay to me! inplick has done a beautiful job with their artstyle creating the designs of the characters and founding the shows entire artstyle. it's so unique, the shows poster is what dragged me in the first place! hellooo amazing artstyle and attractive characters

sound: 10/10, it's amazing. from the suspenseful or heart-warming ost in the donghua itself to the AMAZING opening and ending, it's just so good. do take a listen to the full version of dive back in time (op) and overthink (ed) once you get the chance!

character: 9/10, this is a rating for the current season of course. it shines light on protagonist cheng xiaoshi and his experience connecting his emotions to the clients. our other main characters calm and collected lu guang and carefree outgoing qiao ling don't have much depth behind their backstories (because it's confirmed that we'll find out much more about them in season2!) but they make for a wonderful trio of red yellow and blue~ also, some of the clients stories are just unforgettable. should i mention that majority of them are based on true-stories? ranging from devastating things in history to people in the shows own animation studio

enjoyment: 10/10, i was on the edge of my seat EVERY SINGLE EPISODE!! just watch it, it's an unforgettable experience with all the cliffhangers - especially since i was tuning in from the start and having to wait weeks to find out what happened after the end of each episode.

overall: 10/10, link click is a masterpiece and i'm glad that myanimelist is acknowledging it. it truly did pave a way for the donghua industry, thank you so much cheng xiaoshi and lu guang! i'll see you soon in season 2
