High-five! Apart from Chinese food, I'm not a fan of other products from this country, and donghuas are no exception (the gamer with scarf and an umbrella didn't impress me), so I need a proper smackdown to watch another one, and the ranking/recommendations for Link Click couldn't be ignored for long; especially since the supernatural genre is my favorite treat. In the end it was well worth it and I would have clawed my way back so as to not be slacking for so long. For the time-travel genre, Link Click has a superb structure, solidly plays with time twists, and it's all done in a way as simple as a slap in the face, which makes you wonder why such a successful approach isn't taken more often. A few opening episodes for a quick denouement and a natural flow towards the main storyline is almost imperceptible and all the more remarkable when we start artfully weaving the past into an engaging present. The more classic buddy duo of the calculating cool hand and the emotive idealist resolutely fight their way through the poignant human stories of the less fortunate and surprisingly explore the supporting characters far more than they present themselves, which for me is surely the most significant minus of the entire series. To fully enjoy this thriller's ride from one cliffhanger to the next, I would have welcomed a more intimate connection to Lu and Cheng, but I admit that I couldn't find room to shoehorn this presentation into how bloated the script and atmosphere are already. Indeed, I got heavily into the civilized episodes related mostly to the petty debts of old relationships and the uncompromising switches to the detective thriller-style, even considerably dramatic levels. It's not difficult to see through the final shenanigans, yet my face stretched out like the teacher from GTO at the last scenes, and the second series either promises the first clumsy somersault or such a flub that we'll be pleading for another ASAP. While I'm not a fan of the lisping and grunting of Chinese, it's made up for by the English-language opening song, and artistically it has nothing to be ashamed of. For 5 stars it was lacking something that would have outright blown me away, but I have a feeling I'll get there with more photos. An elegantly strong 4 stars

It's a very intelligent and original sci-fi thriller. The first season is episodic and slowly builds up the tension and rules of how this world's time travel works to culminate in one of the craziest cliffhangers I've ever seen. The second series has a closed plot of one case, but the building of tension and plot is handled in a similar, if not better, way. All the characters are written very well and easy to like, the animation is at a high level as expected from Haoliners, and the music is chosen superbly. You really can't find anything substantial to criticize here. 24/24 - 100%
