Joo Dong-min expressed particular pride in how he was able to get a large number of stars from "The Penthouse" to appear in his short film. These include Shin Eun-kyung, Uhm Ki-joon, Lee Ji-ah, Kim So-yeon, and Bong Tae-gyu among others. In the chat, Kim So-yeon herself praised Joo Dong-min as a director who brings out the best in his actors, while Shin Eun-kyung said she was always ready to explore new dimensions of the imagination.

In regards to a question from the emcee Moon So-ri about how making film is different from making a drama, Joo Dong-min noted that he didn't have access to audience feedback, and was simply left to guess on his own which parts of the story worked and which didn't. The larger group also told many behind-the-scenes stories regarding production. "It's Alright" became available on TVing at four PM on May 12th.
