The series is about an anthropomorphic goat named Miao Li Xing (famously referred to as Kiki) and his talking pet frog named Gua-Gua (famously referred to as Quack) who lives in an apartment with their parents. Miracle Star is known for imitating the scenes, character designs and animation style of The Amazing World of Gumball.[3][4]

The series aired from 2014 to 2017, with a total of 12 episodes broadcast before being cancelled due to negative reviews.[5]

In response to the plagiarism, Cartoon Network released the 167th episode of Gumball, "The Copycats", to address Miracle Star's plagiarism more directly.[3]
