Notes

Director Kim Jin Won stated that in the Korean title of the drama 세상 어디에도 없는 차칸남자 the word "nice" was purposely misspelled as 차칸 (Cha-kan). The correct Korean spelling for "nice" should be 착한 (Chak-han). His explained that “The lead character describes himself as a nice guy but in reality he is using another person’s love for his own love and is a bad guy who is only out for revenge. We [purposely misspelled the title] for sarcastic reasons.” --Source
The drama undergone a title change after much deliberation by protests from pro-Korean language associations. Starting episode 3 (which aired on September 19), the Korean title in the subtitles and all promotional materials has been changed from its misspelled title 세상 어디에도 없는 차칸남자 to the orthographically correct title 세상 어디에도 없는 착한남자. --Source
