While some questions are sprinkled throughout the video from an unseen interviewer, for the most part Kim Seon-ho simply describes the backstory behind various scenes. Kim Seon-ho notably radiates with affection regarding Bae Suzy, Nam Joo-hyuk, and even Kim Hae-sook.

Kim Seon-ho's actor-driven response to the various questions has proven enormously popular among fans, with the video having a like/dislike ration of 300 to 1. Kim Seon-ho mentions that quite a few of the drama's most popular scenes were ad libs, with details such as a business card being held upside down or Nam Joo-hyuk doing a basketball move being explained in the context of ideas originating from the actors themselves. Kim Seon-ho also spoke a lot about which scenes required multiple takes and why.

The most pointed question was regarding comments on the variety show 2 Days & 1 Night where Kim Seon-ho was described as having cried for thirteen hours. Kim Seon-ho explained that it was actually four hours, because of two scenes being shot back to back that both required he wear crying makeup. While admitting that the experience was emotionally deleterious, Kim Seon-ho was as cheerful during this section of the interview as he was during the earlier parts.

Kim Seon-ho also had plenty of commentary regarding the way he felt about his own character, and how he would have acted in a similar situation. He expressed some surprise that "Start Up" made him so unexpectedly popular. But throughout the interview, Kim Seon-ho exuded grace and charm- a deliberate taste for international fans of the attitude that has made him such a popular name in South Korea.
