** One for the English Dub, but Marinette (a French native) asks Fei whether she speaks ''English'' or not, rather than the more realistic French. Granted, this is consistent with how the same issue is handled in "Kung Food", so this might be more of a TranslationConvention than an actual error.

* ReleaseDateChange: The air date was delayed from April 2nd 2021 to April 4th 2021, presumably to change Lady Dragon's animation model due to criticisms of whitewashing in promotional material.

** The concept of Ladybug visiting Shanghai, learning about her Chinese roots, and meeting Chinese superheroes has been around since the beginning, with ideas of making the special in 2D, having it focus on the Lunar New Year, or making a limited comic series about it.
** One of the concepts was that Marinette would've met more of her Chinese family members, whilst in the final version, we only get to see (great-)Uncle Wang again and see photos of her grandparents and aunt.
** Long before the special aired, [[https://miraculousladybug.fandom.com/wiki/File:Renren_2D_Concept_Art.png concept art]] of Renren was shown; back then, she went exclusively by Lady Dragon, had dark red-orange hair and an orange and yellow costume more inspired by European dragons. She ended up going through several redesigns before appearing on the show.
*** Renren's final design originally had golden hair, just like the Renlings and Renren's beast forms, but it was changed to her original concept's red hair after her appearance in promos received criticism for whitewashing.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: When Fei as Renren was initially seen with golden/[[HairColorDissonance blonde]] hair in previews, some fans criticized the creators for continuing the trend of [[ButNotTooBlack giving non-white characters Caucasian features in their superhero forms]]. This design ended up changing by the time the episode aired; her superhero form was given a more unnatural shade of red hair, similar to her concept design.

There were also rumors flying around that she was meant to be the star of a different Zagtoons show alongside a character named Lady Butterfly, who she often appeared with in concept art. Eventually, both characters were added to ''Miraculous Ladybug'' (with Lady Butterfly appearing in a different special) and Lady Dragon underwent various redesigns, eventually becoming the character we know today.

* WordOfGod: [[https://twitter.com/Thomas_Astruc/status/1379133487911948290?s=20 According to Thomas Astruc]], Fei's age and family name can be deduced from the special. Most likely, her family name is Wu, as her sifu goes by LastNameBasis.
