Li Haoling wrote and directed Link Click, produced under Studio LAN with support from his own company, Haoliners Animation League. The first season aired in 2021 on Bilibili and Funimation, followed by a second season in 2023. The award-winning “Bridon Arc”—a six-episode prequel—aired from late 2024 to early 2025. A third season is already in the works and slated for release in 2026.

The story follows Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang, two young men who run the Moment of Time Photo Studio alongside their landlord and friend, Xiao Ling. Clients visit them to resolve deep regrets. Once a request is accepted, Cheng Xiaoshi travels into the past through a photograph, while Lu Guang ensures history stays on track. They get only one chance—and just 12 hours—to set things right.

Link Click continues to captivate audiences with its emotional storytelling, gorgeous animation, and thrilling plot twists. Fans can stream it now on Bilibili or Crunchyroll.
