They first ask Park Eun-bin about the show Extraordinary Attorney Woo to which she answers that this show is like a therapy among the heavy dramatic plots in the Kdramas these days. It is also a heartwarming show to take us through these tough days. They then move on to asking her about her role as Woo Young-woo.
Park Eun-bin tells them that this role was among the hardest that she has played, which she researched through books, consulting professors, etc. Playing a genius who has so many whale facts in store wasn’t easy and she had to go through more retakes than any of her other works. She wanted to make Woo Young-woo different from others and made sure not to base her on anyone.
The questions then move to the other actors on the show; with Jung Myung-seok being the mentor who always gives Woo Young-woo a chance and Jun-ho being the kind person that she falls for. She then tells that the spring sunshine Choi Seo-yoon scene moved her to tears while Hwan Min-woo is the one who brings out the competition in Young-woo and Dong Geurami is the friend who knows everything.
Park Eun-bn then shares her first impression of her co-stars who all looked tired to her when they first met. She also shares about the friends she made on set and how the whole cast shared a good sense of humour. After sharing the memorable moments on set and the hard-to-find ad-libs, she goes on to talk about the scenes that allowed her to understand her character more deeply.

Sharing that Woo Young-woo is a character who can feel emotions, but is unable to recognise the emotions that she is feeling. She feels guilt, love, sadness, and so on but is unable to put a finger on it. She then moves on to the scenes with Kang Ki-young (Jung Myung-seok) that brought out a laugh and the tough trial scenes with the endless lines about law and whales.
The interview ends with the comment that she can now even live as Young-woo when compared to the beginning of the shoot where she had a lot of hand gestures and other actions to bring out. The interview then ends with a photo time with a gimbap and whale plushies.
