Link Click Season 3 Brings Tears in Heart-wrenching Opening Theme

“We Thought We’d Never Say Goodbye”… US, TOO. We didn’t think we’d have to say goodbye to Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi so soon.

Studio LAN dropped the opening for the third season of Link Click, titled “时” or “Time” in English. Beginning with the click and snap of a photo being taken, the opening starts with Cheng Xiaoshi taking various photos of places he frequents. He walks up the stairs in a labyrinthine room and happens across a crying Lu Guang when he was a child but is separated from comforting him. Photography and the past play a major part in the opening with photos flying about and characters from the past two seasons making a brief appearance. Performed by 杨润泽 with lyrics and composition by 鱼麦扣, the opening is emotional and bittersweet.

The donghua, created and directed by Li Haoling, premiered on April 30, 2021 where the first season ran for 11 episodes. Season 2 premiered on July 14, 2023 for 12 episodes. A prequel season, titled the “Bridon Arc” launched with six episodes in December 2024. The original donghua also inspired a Chinese live-action drama and a Japanese live-action drama.

Link Click follows best friends Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang who run a photo studio where they help clients with their various regrets using their powers. With a simple high five, Cheng Xiaoshi is able to possess the person who took a photograph while Lu Guang has the ability to see what happened 12 hours after the photo has been taken. The donghua first premiered on Funimation, marking it as the streaming platform’s first donghua, and quickly rose to popularity with its unique plot and storytelling.

The donghua can be watched on Crunchyroll but the streaming platform has not confirmed if the third season will be available there. Season 3 Part 1 airs on August 14 on Bilibili.
