Episodes often focus on animals and their relationship with humans.[3] [4] Efforts are made to not only show cute animals, but to also educate and increase sympathy towards animals.[5] Episodes often focus on animals as pets, but often cover topics such as animal rights and animal welfare.[6] [7] Other topics include pet adoption and veterinary care. When the show covers difficult topics, its producers reportedly take the approach of trying to encourage positive reform.[8]
The show has four main panelists who comment on the topics featured in the show; these panelists have sometimes been celebrities from other fields.[9], the hosts are comedian Shin Dong-yup, actress, and K-pop artists Tony Ahn and Joy.
In 2020, it aired its 1000th episode.
