Note
- 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/Korean Language Society. Starting episode 3, 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.

August 29th, 2012 at 3:33 pm
It’s finally up here on this site..was wondering when they were going to post this here. Am very excited with this. SJK and MCW just look awesome together from the pics that I’ve seen so far. Had worries at first because of SJK’s boyish looks but that’s history now. He looks just perfect for that role!

Can somebody tell me what’s two girls relation that he uses one for revenging other? Any idea?
August 29th, 2012 at 8:37 pm
cant wait this drama to start.. yeheey SJK ure with MCW what a lovely pair love it…
August 29th, 2012 at 9:12 pm
@sara: In my opinion, I don’t think there’s any relation at all. But from the synopsis I read, Jae Hee left Ma Roo for another man because she wants to be rich.
And then there’s Eun Gi, a chaebol princess.
So maybe for Ma Roo it’s like, “Hey look, I got a new rich girlfriend too.”
August 29th, 2012 at 9:31 pm
This drama is my first list of the most anticipation drama. Whenever Moon Chae Won goes, I’ll follow you >.< Ahh, Can't wait this drama, I've been waiting for this drama a long time ago T.T

August 29th, 2012 at 11:52 pm
MCW is back! YAY!!
Can’t wait for MCW and SJK in Nice Guy.
August 30th, 2012 at 12:31 am
@wendy: thanks for the site, waw so it also answered your question sara#12, Jae Hee in a relationship with Eun Gi’s father.
It’s already obvious from the start that Ma Roo doesn’t have any feeling toward Eun Gi, since he’s only going to use her for revenge. But I hope they’ll end up together >_< can't see MCW having heartbreak.
August 30th, 2012 at 1:20 am
@dara i hope so..in the end maru will truly love eun gi..
August 30th, 2012 at 2:11 am
yippee, my most anticipated show is here. love the cast!
August 30th, 2012 at 2:43 am
..and later..Maru fallin love fo real with the chaebol girl..,whoaaa..i like this kind of storyline
August 30th, 2012 at 5:47 am
@dara
Oh, so that’s it. It makes sense. But the genre is melodrama. It will be a heavy tearful drama without any guarantee of happy ending. Hard to watch. We need to wait and see.
August 30th, 2012 at 6:19 am
I’ve been waiting forever for this! XD
Song Joong Ki <3
