Trivia
Singaporeans of Chinese descent who count Hokkien as their dialect has always been consistently form the largest group in terms of Chinese dialects in Singapore, as according to the Singapore Department of Statistics. As much as this drama series is based on a historical book, it can also be seen as still the only drama series in Singapore, and in Mandarin, to also indirectly place a spotlight on the Hokkien community in Singapore.

Crazy credits
As if to re-emphasise the drama series's title, there are various times the various characters talked about 'stepping out' of various situations. In the beginning it was to get out of China in search of a better life, before it took on other meanings.
