| A 28-minute episode with lots of revelations. It confirmed the flashback kid to be Liu Min's brother and also exposed Tianchen and Qian Jin's motives. CXS decided to change LG's fate, can't wait to see how it turns out, hope it isn't another misleading cliffhanger. |
 |
| this ep was crazy tbh |
 wow |
| a slightly longer episode that answered many questions. it seems cheng xiaoshi decided he wants to try to change the past, more specifically the fate of lu guang. he hesitates to get onto the boat, unlike in the past when lu guang got onto the boat. will he successfully change the past, and subsequently, the future as well? lu guang is always telling him to leave the past and future alone and not change anything, so if he does change it, what could happen? |

| Loved the new direction this episode took, I'm really interested how the season gonna wrap up One thing I didn't quite understood. At the end did Cheng Xiaoshi and Li Tianxi ran past each other on the crosswalk or was that some metaphor (with the Inevitable Destiny title screen showing right after) and they didn't actually ran past each other? |

| Hahaha I just know that goddamn otaku is really a scum lmao. Now all motives of antagonist of this story already been answered. Crazy episode |
 |
| I feel like I get what happened but also not. My brain hurts. Loved how they showed such a messed up story with a childish cartoon style. |
 |
| Hahahhaha hahhaha... No. Link Click S1 was really a one hit wonder! What was this episode @haolin24870943 ?! This is not good, a lot of problems, and worse, a bit embarrassing! |
 |
| Maaaan... am I the only one that feels this season is just REALLY dragging the story out and refusing to progress? We've seen Lu Guang/CX tackling himself like three times now, I just want to know what happens AFTER that already! The flashbacks this episode really didn't feel necessary, they didn't tell us anything we didn't already know or deduce except for a few things, and they could've been done in way less time than this episode gave them. I mean, did we really need that maniacal laughter montage at the end? Was it really important to retell most of the twins' story as a fairy tale? Each segment only gave one piece of new information sandwiched between repeated scenes and plot points. And they weren't even revolutionary reveals or anything, like we still don't know who Tianchen's friend is (an earlier comment on this thread it's confirmed to be Liu Min's brother but I honestly didn't get that from the episode at all??), or how exactly the parents were killed. I literally only care about Lu Guang, Cheng Xiaoshi and Qiao Ling, and the show is just refusing to give them screen time. If they at least made the new characters any interesting it wouldn't be so bad, but they're just not. I cared more about the basketball player's family and friends from the first season than I do about this crazy cop guy and psycho pink-haired boy. |

| Well, that explains some things. The 'crossroad scene' of Cheng Xiaoshi and Li Tianxi at the end gave me goosebumps. Damn, this episode was insane. |
 |
| Loved the transitions in this episode! I do hope we get to see more of the main cast again next week though. |
| Hm so was Qian Jin's really cheating on him? It seemed kind of sus but was it really just his misunderstanding? Was the child *his* child, or was it a product of an affair? Is he trying to go back in time to save his wife and child at the same time, or does he want to confirm if it was actually his child? I always thought he killed his own wife, but it doesn't seem like it anymore. The way he reacted when he met with the Li children also adds up now. |

| I bet this cliffhanger will go nowhere once again. @ConstantReader No, the pacing has been awful this season. Honestly at this point it doesn't even feel like the same show. When stuff it's happening it's actually good but between the cliffhangers that go nowhere and the story spinning in circles over and over it's a tough watch. |

ConstantReader said: A scene in the middle of the episode where the driver just called him Mr. Liuan earlier comment on this thread it's confirmed to be Liu Min's brother but I honestly didn't get that from the episode at all??  |
|
| honestly, didn't even realize this episode was 27mins until i opened this thread. the filter was pretty cool. |
 |
| I still really like this show overall, but I'm in the crowd that thought this episode stretched unnecessarily. We saw Tianchen cackling for so long so many times, and that wasn't the only repeated scene. On the actual content, should I be recognizing the hunter from the fairy tale section? It certainly didn't resemble Qian Jin to me. Guess it's Tianchen's friend? I don't exactly see that resemblance either. |

interesting episode but i really hope this ending wasn't another misleading cliffhanger and cxs is actually gonna change the past and save lu guang...we've yet to see what a major intentional change could do to the timeline and im so curious. the pacing of this season is stressing me out tho, these next 3 episodes better start actually advancing the present plot bc idk how they are gonna wrap this all up in time. is the 3rd season confirmed?
| @jukjukbox Yeah I honestly can't believe we're on episode 9 already and we still haven't actually got any answers, it really seems like they just want to fill up as much time as possible this season to save all the good stuff for a season 3. |

@ConstantReader no, I'm too, one of my friend drop the show until it's finished arriving, this season is dragging the story to fill the position for 12 episode we should have gotten answer about how the powers of lu Guang and CX works, what was the trip they went in S1 , we did get Director msg after S1 that S2 will answer these questions.
| @Abstudios07 Right?? They really teased us with so many promises to make us excited for this season and so far they haven't been delivering on any of them. |

| I love how this episode was directed, the change in art style was so cinematic and looked amazing. I'm still a little confused, so did Liu Lan really cheat or it was just rumors made by the neighbor? And Qian Jin is represented by the hunter in the fairy tale? I'm assuming he works with Li Tianchen because he feels sympathy or relates to his case? |
| I'm still flabbergasted by how bad this episode was. If I try very hard I think I can see what Haoling wanted to do, but the way and style he did it was bad. The thing is, Tianchen killed his mothers, he already hated her at the time as much as he hated his fathers, right? Because she was really seeing the "professor" and cheating on his father. So he doesn't want to revert her death, she doesn't care about her, equally Jian Qian has no reason to revert his wife death because she cheated on him. They're both just angry dudes. But again, couldn't Haoling give this information in another way? This didn't needed to be a whole episode, he didn't need to make it a "tragedy" and appeal to emotions like this. There's noting special about their circumstances. They're just two typical angry dudes. And that laughter... that ridiculous laughter... it's really hard to accept that this was written by the same person who wrote the first season, it's so ridiculous and embarrassing! I can't see them as "humans" like all other characters anymore, they're just crazy villains. This episode should be 5 minutes scenes between other episodes. And before I forget, the time line makes no sense. Bin Chen was already a cop before Jian Qian left? And he was already engaged? How long ago that happened? |

@PaninaManina I don't think Li Tianchen's mother was really a cheater. It was revealed that the neet was the one who was spreading gossip that eventually got back to her husband. It was revealed that she was definitely a liar though, so I'm not exactly 100% sure that she wasn't
| @Quanda1eDing1e Situation doesn't change. Tianchen killed his mother and hated her the same way Jian Qian probably feels cheated by his wife. |
|
| Cheng Xiaoshi is following the predictions of what Lu Guang would have done. Qian Jin's wife cheated on him. But didn't he leave because his wife was killed? Why do I feel like it's all a big plot. Li Tianchen and Liu Jing were old friends. That's something unexpected. Almost thought it was Cheng Xiaoshi. Why does their conversation sound like three psychopaths having fun? The fairytale-like past shows how poor Li Tianxi was helpless. Li Tianchen was on revenge path, and the one who gave the bow was Liu Jing. What was the "finale" for? |

| this episode was frickin awesome and crazy, and the transitions were great! |
EN-25 🎃 My Maloween Candies:-          |
| w000w! this episode is symbolically heavy!! 5/5. |
 |
| I’m confused. I don’t understand what the flashbacks are supposed to give us as far as information/motives of the villains, I don’t understand the point of the twins story animated as furry animals, I don’t understand the connection between the villains themselves or what they want from CXS/Lu, etc. This entire episode only made me have more questions and become frustrated. I can usually process information better with dubs instead of subs because the way my brain works so maybe it will be easier to organize the details once I can rewatch in dub and hear it instead of only reading. I mean I love this show so much but I can’t follow it at the moment. |

| Whilst, I've generally been liking Link Click so far, I have to say I'm a bit dissapointed with this episode. While some information has been given and some mysteries have been solved, I think they way they executed it was done terribly. Especially for the last 3 episodes we've been in I'd considered it to be stuck, like some others were saying. Replaying previous scenes and clips with no intent. It truly feels like filler at this point. I still have zero clue how the Ex-cop is in this, and how he's motivated by all this. I get the kids but the ex-cop's makes no sense, I can't even gather any information, despite the way the episode was formatted. (I feel like they used this episode to flesh out the villan's intent but it felt like nothing). I'm worried on how the 3 episodes are going to be paced. |
