Lookism

Interesting concept that gets thrown by the wayside around 50 chapters in or so. It seems pretty clear that the other lost their original intention of making a drama focused around having two dramas in exchange for making a stereotypical, sub-par gang action story. It's fine, but once you hit the evil cult arc, which is awful btw, I suggest you stop reading unless you're in to the age-old friendship-is-magic-and-nobody-can-die style action plot. It's a shame becuase the author started with an interesting dramatic concept that never reaches a conclusion, obviously it will, just not as a slice-of-life drama. If the author had created two separate stories and separated out the two bodies or, at the very least, made fighting the focus of the story since the beginning, I would probably have a different opinion. Overall, it's just wasted potential. So far it's 441 chapters of mid.

Lookism as the name suggest the story's base starts with looks!!! And as the story progress writer covers many other topics... It has best art style and plot.... at later arcs the art style somewhat changed or you can say improved bit still its very good!! Without any fantasy or super powers...it still have topnotch and badass action. (especially at latest chapters😍) It covers all genre that connect to reality... With every arc it give a very good reality check and we are shown the twisted side of our society. With every arc it cover new problems of societies that many times overlooked... DON'T WORRY I DIDN'T GIVE ANY MAJOR SPOILER!! In this webtoon as you will able to see many realistic and shocking things then you will also able to learn a lot of things^^ For example in Juvenile and Homeless arc we are shown as two people are in same situation.. and depending their attitude how the results are different...one went to bright and beautiful future and other went direct to hell!!! There are many loving characters and of some some characters you'll hate them so much that you will feel to beat them by going inside of the webtoon^^ And sometime, some people from the webtoon are drawn so creepy that it can scare you!! But I like how author focus on every character's story and their development... as MC will not be the main character in every arc but its never lose its sparkle and no lose in story progression still you'll able to enjoy it.. For Example in Big deal arc the MC is not main character in that arc but big deal's former leader is the main character of that arc.... and that arc is so mind blowing especially the ending😭🤫 I remind of Itachi from Naruto!! further no spoiler sorry ;) you can read and find out!! In this webtoon my FAV quote is "If the world is unfair to you, then its not your fault. But if you only blaming the world with sitting there without doing anything and without changing yourself , without trying to change others prejudice about you then you are a failure" ….because you are only running away by giving excuses if the world is unfair to you then change it, you have to try harder then other but in the end it will worth it Overall Patience is the key to read this webtoon!! like One piece i guess how i was not into it watching its first arcs...but later its proved me wrong...in the later its very impressive,, well I guess you can try reading at least 70-80 chapters of the webtoon for the start!! I’ve had a really good time reading it^^ I’ve laughed and cried while reading this, I totally recommended this webtoon. It's a webtoon that at least once you should check in life... no need to binge read it you take your time reading it!!

Okay, Ima tried to do this without giving spoilers. Everything is good till you get to ch 375... then you get to 394 and It's just all over the place after that but I have trust in the author that he will put it all together and it will just be chef's kiss. 8/10 recommend just because of the way it's going rn.

Thoughts: A pretty good slice-of-life/action manhwa if you're looking for an easy read, but my God is this thing LONG. Like it's currently at 391 chapters and still ongoing... a little mind-blowing when you think about it, but other than that regard I would say that the manhwa itself is pretty *bleep* good. At the end of the day, the character development is solid and so is the story. I would definitely recommend this even though the length of it is quite intimidating.

Another banger from taejun park and I'm all in for it, lookism is one of the only manwha's which has so much violence and still has me in for it, it's just a great ride to be a part of, it started out as a drama and now its heading to the more violent side but I can't say I'm upset, Heck I'm more thrilled, Masterpiece.

Daniel is basically an as*hole at the start of the comic, a coward outside and a tiger at home. His mother is a sacrificial type, the best character in the manhua, a perfect example of a mother. Then one day he gets a perfect second body which is good at everything, even than the pros, also learns fast like only watching something one time, n all girls swoon over him.. Even ghosts...basically the body is like a robot.

The premises are good and the first 100 chapters flow really well. After that the story start to slow down, too much sideline stories and the mc is still the same like at the start of the webtoon.

I love the art and the way Daniel gets treated differently based on how he looks. Ot really shows how looking a certain way can help you do better in life. If you don't fit the beauty standards then you will already be at the bottom. Btw I love Vasco. He is adorable and can fight.

For me, liking Lookism was more of a journey than a natural occurring.

Lookism is an anime which pulls out the dirty truth about discrimination in our society, where we view people based upon first look and assign them a certain status. If you're attractive, you're successful and an asshole; and if you're fat, you're a loser and a kindhearted, good person...

This webtoon, while having a very exciting storyline, also manages to bring light to the difference in treatment people receive, just for looking a certain way... as I was reading it, I began to realize that, without even wanting to, a part of me had become like the bullies in the webtoon who picked on the unattractive kids.. Although Im someone who tries to treat everyone equally regardless of their appearance and quirks, and although Im someone who has had unattractive friends before, Ive realized, after reading this, that even if I dont show it on the outside, I tend to look at people a certain way at first simply because of the way they appear.. I believe its normal for humans to be like that, since its impossible to judge people by their personality when you first meet them, however, while reading this webtoon, Ive come to the resolution, that even if I continue judging people based on appearance, I will not think of someone negatively just because they are unattractive... I believe this webtoon has made/will make me into a better person and I REALLY hope the english chapters start getting updated faster since Im dying to continue reading this webtoon...

My favorite manhwa. I wish the English translation gets released much faster. The characters are so good looking (so is the artist!).

Park Hyung Suk, overweight and unattractive, is bullied and abused on a daily basis. But a miracle is about to happen. He turns into skinny guy. And there you go, another good manhwa for you. I luv this manhwa.

A lot of people probably underestimate it this manhwa because of it's real. It describes a very real situation of a very fat student. Of course it shows him getting bullied. People that read up to chapter 3 thinks it's only about the mc getting a girl but, it's about the mc(park hyung suk) dealing with the people who had bullied him.
