Zuko tells the healer that Iroh's name is "Mushi," which causes Iroh to glare at him because "mushi" translates to "insect" - not a very manly name.
The voice of Moku is provided by Derek Basco, the older brother the voice actor for Zuko, Dante Basco.
The story of the two lovers is drawn in the style of traditional ink brush painting.
The episode opens with the kids practicing waterbending and swimming in a river. They are shown next to a rock feature that resembles Elephant Trunk Hill in Guilin, China.
The statues shown at the mouth of the cave resemble statues found in some Buddhist temples in East Asia. The two statues serve as guardians for the Buddha.
