This was one of Thomas Astruc's favorite episodes to direct.The first part of the special, "Ladybug & Cat Noir" doesn't include an end card.Meanwhile, the Korean title for the special is "탄생! 레이디버그" which translates to "Rise! Ladybug".The French title for the two-parter is called "Origines".It was advertised as the Season 2 premiere (episode 14 and 15) in South Korea.Internationally, the special episodes first premiered in Canada on Télé-Québec for French viewers on March 4, and 5th, 2016, respectively.

In a continuing flashback to Ladybug and Cat Noir's origins, Marinette mistakes Adrien for a bully and hesitates to embrace her Ladybug persona. In a flashback, Ladybug and Cat Noir's origins are revealed, as Marinette befriends Alya and meets Adrien, a famous model with an overprotective dad. Discover how Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste, two high school students practically like everyone else, became Ladybug and Cat Noir, and why Hawk Moth is their sworn enemy. I liked that LB trusted CN enough to know that he is not a thief.Each story has its beginning. Overall I felt that Marinette didn't face consequences from her actions and got what she wanted in the end even though she stole things. So his power gimmick is that he can impersonate anyone so he impersonates CN so that he could take his place in order to be a thing with LB. He gets upset, and becomes akumatized what a shocker! At this point if you don't think that a person is akumatized in an episode you probably haven't paid attention to the show.

Then again the sculptor is weird for having a crush on a teenage superhero in the first place while he is 20 - 30 years old ( I'm just assuming since the show never states anyone's age directly). Then he interacts with the sculptor and tells him that he and LB are a thing which is a dickish thing to lie about.

Adrien is the only one who attends that event. So she runs out and notices that she had to attend the ceremonial unveiling of the new LB and CN statue at the park. Then she tries to salvage that situation because she doesn't want her crush to think that she is creepy or weird. That was her blurting out how obsessed she is with him.

The events of this episode were that Marinette accidentally left a message on Adrien's phone. For the reasons that she isn't friends with Adrien and to get that information she would need to spend a large amount of time collecting that information. I'm really off put by Marinette in this episode just how much time does she spend on stalking Adrien? When she pulled up a list of his detailed schedules I was creeped out. So, I think she doesn't take anything he says on face value. He mostly comes of as needy, desperate, too flirtatious for her to take him seriously. I felt that CN was really mean and possessive of LB in this episode and it could be one of the main reasons as to why LB doesn't love him. While Marinette learned that stealing phones and claiming that you found them is okay if it's for your own benefit. The lesson that CN learned was that he should control his jealousy more as it could lead to bad things. I felt like this episodes theme was jealousy and it mainly revolved more around CN than LB. L'imposteur mainly revolved around a sculptor who? based his sculpture on LB.
