Since it was Father's Day this week, let's reflect on the best and worst kdrama dads.

Since good dads rarely make for good drama, there seem to be more bad ones than good ones. And when they are bad, they are very bad.

The dad in the current drama "Shark" is bad-bad-bad. Jo Eui Seon, played by Kim Gyu Chul, is not just mean and condescending but he commits a crime and makes another man pay for it.

Another bad dad is the gangster Han Tae Joon, played by Han Jin Hee in "Missing You." He is not just cruel to his son, Han Jung Woo, played by Park Yoo Chun, but his bullying behavior results in his son's girlfriend being kidnapped. He never apologizes or makes amends.

Then there's Lee Jin Pyo, played by Kim Sang Joong. He's Lee Min Ho's foster dad in "City Hunter." It's not that he doesn't care for his adopted son while he's growing up. He does teach him to ride an elephant and hit a target. It's just that he raises him solely for the purpose of revenge, never stopping to consider how this might put him in danger or ruin his life.

And then there are the deadbeat dads. In "Mary Stayed Out All Night," poor Mary almost winds up homeless because her dad is always on the run from his debtors. Wi Dae Han, played by Park Sang Myun, tries to make up for this by contracting his daughter in a marriage against her will.

But not all kdrama dads are bad. The dad in "Cinderella's Sister" makes up for all of the bad dads by practically being a saint. Goo Dae Sung, played by Kim Kap Soo is dad to Goo Hyo Sun, played by Seo Woo and stepdad to Goo Eun Jo, played by Moon Geun Young. He is as kind and supportive to his stepdaughter as he is to his own daughter, raising both girls with affection, trust and a firm hand.

But maybe the award for best kdrama dad should go to actor Jung In Gi for playing several great dads. In "Secret Garden," he plays Gil Ra Im's dad. Not only does he save the life of her future love but he also arranges for a magic spell to bring them together. In "Flower Boy Ramen Shop," he raises Yang Eun Bi as a single dad and then arranges for a decent guy to take care of her after he dies. He's Han Se Kyng's easily impressed supportive dad in "Cheomdamdung Alice." And he can again be seen in "Shark" as the good dad that takes the blame for the bad dad.
