Presented as a production from Globo, and supposedly written and directed by Glória Perez, the rumor of the telenovela emerged on an anonymous profile on Twitter, which published an initial version of the plot and cast.

[2] The telenovela also attracted some more critical reactions due to its orientalist representation and the practice of yellowface, present in real Globo works, such as Negócio da China and Sol Nascente.

The goal was to satirize Negócio da China, the core actors of Glória Perez's works, the rise of influencers in Globo's telenovelas and Giovanna Antonelli's ability to portray characters of other nationalities.

The plot conflict is initiated by the attack by 'Keen Xong' (presented as the influencer and former Big Brother Brasil member Davi Brito) on the dojo, which ends with the murder of Fernanda Montenegro's character.
