Beginning with the state of art around 1953, solutions of the Levi problem on complex manifolds will be recalled at first up to Takayama’s result in 1998. Then, the activity of extending the results by the L2{L}^{2} method in these decades will be reported. The method is by exploiting the finite dimensionality of certain L2{L}^{2} ∂¯\bar{\partial }-cohomology groups to prove that a Hermitian holomorphic line bundle LL over a complex manifold MM is bimeromorphically equivalent to an ample bundle when it is restricted to a bounded locally pseudoconvex domain Ω⋐M\Omega \hspace{0.15em}\Subset \hspace{0.15em}M under the positivity of L∣∂Ω{L| }_{\partial \Omega } and the regularity of ∂Ω\partial \Omega .
