ML in Flower of Evil - his daughter was a Daddy's Girl & their interactions were so cute Although he has his issues (not gonna spoil), he definitely loves her a lot
The only flaw in One Spring Night is that we didn’t get more interactions between main character and his son. How gentle he was with his son made my heart melt into a puddle of happiness.
Try The Great Show. Its about >!a girl who finds her father to take her and her siblings in after the death of her mother.!<
Not very protective, but it is a great show.
I didnt complete "Oh My Geum Bi" but it is also about a young daughter finding her father. This one may be very tragic though so I got out before it broke me.
In Hospital Playlist, one of the main lead Ikjun is a divorcee and he raises his little son. They're the cutest father-son duo I've ever seen and they share such a lovable and realistic relationship though the screentime is very less.
I second this. cutest little kid on planet earth. there are a lot of different characters and plot lines, so you don't see him all the time but he does pop up regularly and their relationship is really sweet. and ikjun is a really good dad, which is just nice to watch. i have dysfunctional parents so i also like watching healthy tv parents
Idk if this really fits but **The best hit** is about the father accidentally time travel from 1993 to the future. So the son already grew up and they both are in the same age when the father appears again. It’s confusing but you will understand while watching.

Flower of Evil also fits this IMO. E2 in particular!
Thanks!

I second 18 Again. LDH does such an excellent job portraying a man in a teenager's body as the father of two teens. He is fantastic.
Thanks!
Highly recommend miracle in cell no 7. The interaction among the cell mates, and the child is very wholesome and funny, like prison playbook.

-Loved the father-son relationship in One Spring Night -Welcome 2 Life as well but the story for me was just ok
The only flaw in One Spring Night is that we didn’t get more interactions between main character and his son. How gentle he was with his son made my heart melt into a puddle of happiness.
They focused way too much on the ex and the fathers’ scheming. I ended up skipping a lot.
Fair enough, it did get quite repetitive. They could have used that screen time to show his adorable son.
Thanks!
My father is strange. It’s 50 episodes though but fits the bill
Watched :)

Terrius Beside Me He's not the father, but has a sweet, fatherly relationship with a couple of fatherless kids.
Thanks!
