The Q&A question was also send by many media outlets like Digital Chosan, Today's Newspaper, SportTV, The Korea Herald.

1st question was asked to director Kim, "What is the biggest charm about My Name, and what makes it stand out? "

Director Kim replied saying that whenever he chooses the script to work on he finds the reason why to pick it. He added saying, "Extracurricular was loved a lot and I have to look through a lot of different scrips to see what kind of next piece I will work, but then action is something I haven't work for quite long and action is something that I have done earlier part of my career and I wanted to do it again." He further said, "Writing Script of My Name was very heavy and it was filled a lot of grand subjects matters so that's why I picked it and the main character looked little different than other scripts. There are a lot of main characters surrounding the main character and these supporting characters are also very unique in their own way. So I thought we would be able to see the great energy and chemistry that is created among this cast members and if we can pull the off you are gone to make a really piece that what I thought while reading the script and I wanted to Jump in action scene one again."

Director also appreciated So-hee by saying that when he 1st met So-hee she promised him that he will practice hard and he told her if she doesn't practice action he doesn't want to work with her on this action series as she is actually fitted for melodrama.
