What Link Click teaches us about regret

[@Annie1962]

The earthquake episodes broke me - why - because I really felt for Xiaoshi Cheng and how travelling to the past affected him, knowing he could do nothing. He was a total wreck after it and needed a lot of comforting

Link click is my first donghua i ever watch it amazing I even marathon from s1 to s2 in 2 days until now

[@ProtagonistRayen]

Me too, those epsidoes were tough to watch in the best way.

I wanna share my thoughts for that episode! I think he could have done something different (like a massive turning point) during that dive. The reason he was angry at Lu Guang after is because he agreed to let him save the mother but then Cheng Xiaoshi realized that Lu Guang instructed him (hiding under the table inside their house) exactly how the boy's mother died - protecting his son while the earthquake was happening. While it seemed callous of Lu Guang, he couldn't risk changing the outcome (he must have seen how saving his mother would affect the outcome while using his ability) and stick strictly to the scope of their client's requests. I believe he understood that these events shaped who their client is today. I remember Lu Guang is also the one deciding whether they take on work or not and in reference to season 2, he probably took this request for personal reasons despite it being a heavy commission. I always thought of him being passive of Cheng Xiaoshi punching his face was taking responsibility - for accepting the commission and letting Cheng Xiaoshi live through the client's tragic events in life, and deliberately tricking Cheng Xiaoshi so that the past remains the same.

That confrontation with Emma and CXS was peak anime/donghua experience. From the point of visuals, message, and omg the fucking OST the whole scene was peak! I’m loving how also the short interaction between CXS and Emma basically sums up the whole series and what previous tasks thought CXS. And also how CXS was emphasizing on Emma that he too was once lost but if you push on a ray of light will definitely shine upon you, just as he said that the sun rises on timing. PEAKKKK!!!!

[@ProtagonistRayen]

I love how much passion you have for the show 😂 I totally agree, it's soooo goood!

[@cozybrr3686]

@@ProtagonistRayen watch Kaiji the ultimate gambler. Thank me later. The experience that anime will give you is definitely up there with Link Click.

[@marrymeodasaku7111]

Such a good analysis of link click and its message man, while season 2 seems to be touching the theme of ‘is everything truly fated if time flows backwards?’ the subtle messages and the episodic stories of season 1 will always be special to me

[@ProtagonistRayen]

Thank you! And yeah, while I'm loving season 2, season 1 hit different in the feels.

[@k1ran021]

Link Click is a masterpiece bro.

[@ProtagonistRayen]

I totally agree!

[@Annie1962]

I love this anime so much. I NEVER skip the intro songs

[@linkedsky76]

Bro I still have dreams about this show AND I LITERALLY WAKE UP CRYING BROOOOO

[@SapphirePyro]

EXCELLENT analysis on Link Click and about regrets 👏 Using such an empathetic character like CXS to portray the theme was a great approach by the creators 👏 LG does appear to be the cold type, but I don't see him as cold as those similar to him. I think he can be empathetic too, but more on his loved ones. Anyway, I'm happy that you mentioned about CXS's remarkable character development. For some reason, only his flaws were more noticeable to many 😔

[@ProtagonistRayen]

Thank you so much! And I agree Lu Guang might seem cold, but I think at the end of the day he totally cares, he just knows better than anyone else the consequences of changing the past.

[@Phoca_Vitulina]

Nice! Yeah I love Link Click so much because it just really cuts deeply into the human experience and hard subjects like regret. This new season has been a bit of a shift, but still super enjoying it. Yeah def have regrets in my life that have really shaped who I am today and whose consequences have haunted me (ex. a ton of student debt)

[@ProtagonistRayen]

Oh yeah, while I totally dig the crime and mystery aspect of it, the first season spoke to my feels for sure. And I totally get the student debt 😂

[@danalynch118]

@@ProtagonistRayen I think S2 has important messaging in it too it’s just not the main focus. Like how love can drive you to do evil with TianChen and TianXi

[@mayaha200]

such a deep analysis for this amazing series! really love it and agree with you. you deserve more likes

[@ProtagonistRayen]

Thank you so much! I'm new so I know these things come slow, hopefully it'll gain some momentum so thanks for your support in the meantime!

Thank you!

[@dannyburri8865]

This is especially interesting after starting season three. I think it truly goes to show how complex and in-depth characters are, especially Lu Guang.

[@AntiKash]

the show needs more attention!!!!! great vid !

[@ProtagonistRayen]

I totally agree! This show is for real under the radar.

[@Ren-Kun]

Great video dude u just popped in my feed this video is going blow up quality content keep it up....

[@ProtagonistRayen]

Thanks! I'll try not to dissapoint so stay tuned!

Link click is my first donghua i ever watch it amazing I even marathon from s1 to s2 in 2 days until now And also not forget about the banger opening song👍

[@familyfun359]

I wish there was more urban fantasy shows like Link Click/Shigaung Daili Ren that explore the past instead of the future. For another underrated Donghua I think you’d like to talk about is Dawang Raoming (free on KZbin too! With a four hour watch time)

[@ProtagonistRayen]

Right?! I think they should totally make more shows like link click. And thanks for the reccomendation! I'll get to it eventually 😂

[@cozybrr3686]

@@ProtagonistRayenwatch kaiji, thank me later. Is also another peak anime like Link click being under the radar.

[@lildump8000]

considering how well this video is worded and edited i was surprised and angry at why you don't have more subscribers lol this is seriously great. also appreciate the effort into pronouncing the names right. keep it up!!

[@ProtagonistRayen]

I appreciate it! I'm more or less new, so the growth is getting there, no need to get angry on my behalf though I appreciate the thought 😂. Just enjoy the videos! And for the record, I do speak madarin so I would be dissapointing my ancestors if I mispronounced mandarin names LOL.

[@elianna4754]

This video is super interesting in light of the s2 reveal. I really worry how they’ll deal with LG’s…everything, now hahaha (is the story meant to be that he needs to let go of CXS? I sure hope not…)

[@sanchitkumar5784]

Yes, LG's regret of losing CXS and going back in time to save him again and again from what I have guessed till now, MIND BLOWN!! can't wait to know who is LG actually and where did he came from into CXS's life out of nowhere.

[@Xontroulis]

Really well explained analysis and amazing video overall! Keep it up youve earned a sub

[@ProtagonistRayen]

Thanks so much! I'll try to keep the quality up so stay tuned!

[@hdshjs]

You haven't butchered Chinese names! You pronounce it correctly🥺🥹 I never subscribed that fast - within few seconds. You are co professional and your voice is very pleasant to listen too. Wish you all the success. Great recap. Please, do Link Click theory/prediction video as well.

[@Annie1962]

These two characters are not related but I can see by the animation and voice that they love each other so much (like brothers). It's so nice to see

[@dreamlessking9]

Such a good show

Yes. I regret going to Center Moriches High School and I wish I can go back in time and change everything.

[@ProtagonistRayen]

aww, I hope everything is okay with that

I find it hilarious how I got into link click cus of a collab on a silly rhythm game one year ago and now it’s my favorite anime 💀 enstars being a gateway I guess LMFAO

[@moussasoumare7691]

Haha so funny to hear this after end of season 2

[@Sanjana679]

SPOILERS for Season 2 and Bridon arc At the end of season 2 we find out that Lu Guang has been diving back in time, trying to save Cheng Xiaoshi. From what the short stories in Season 1 told us about regret and the fact that the broader story of Link Click started in season 2, I think Link Click will be about Lu Guang coming to terms with Cheng Xiaoshi's death and learning to let go of that regret.

[@jackerack]

gonna sob

Hey dude would u like to colab?

Oh? I'm totally open for it! Here, I'll set up an email or something so you guys can reach out for inquiries in the future!
