The film does not include any LGBTQ+ characters or narratives. Romantic tension is focused solely on the relationship between Din and Li Na, which is strictly heterosexual.

Li Na is a strong and independent character, challenging the damsel in distress stereotype. Her interactions with other women allow the film to pass the Bechdel test.

The story primarily features Chinese actors and takes place in Shanghai. It avoids a Western perspective by emphasizing East Asian cultural motifs and viewpoints.

The narrative criticizes excessive materialism by contrasting the sincerity of working-class individuals with the consumerism of elites. It emphasizes personal loyalty and friendship over social status.

There are no prominent depictions of visible or invisible disabilities. Characters are defined by their socioeconomic status and magical abilities rather than by any disabilities.
