Is the first sentence correct? Is it natural?
I find it's odd.

Right.

There's no way to get to know [anything] about your dad. (He doesn't reveal anything about himself.)

The first sentence is odd to the extent that it's unusual, but there's nothing wrong with it. I'd say it's creative.

It would be a natural answer to "My dad is OK once you get to know him, right?"
