Synopsis

Violence, name-calling, and humiliation are a daily reality for high school student Park Hyung Suk. Chubby and insecure, he is often used as a plaything and punching bag for bullies, which leads him to wish he could just disappear. Unexpectedly, when he transfers schools in the hopes of starting anew, a miraculous opportunity emerges: he awakens in a tall, handsome, and strangely athletic body. Hyung Suk quickly realizes that he is now the owner of two disparate bodies; when one falls asleep, he wakes up in the other.

Feeling like he has won the lottery of life, Hyung Suk enters his new school as this attractive and strong young man. However, it soon becomes evident that being a popular student is not all smooth sailing. From girls wanting him only for his good looks to delinquents picking fights out of jealousy, he can never seem to escape trouble. In trying to balance his two different lives, Hyung Suk may find both of them to be sources of ceaseless challenges.

Significantly better than anticipated!
Netflix Anime's have a stigma of having bad animation and adapting source material in a questionable way, but for Lookism and some other recent projects that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

The adaptation has decent animation and isn't overly reliant on CG.

Artstyle-wise it fits the setting of the early chapters of Lookism very well. Characters are easily recognizable, though slightly less ugly as portrayed in the manhwa (which is a plus?). Only problem I could see is how heavy and griddy the later chapters of Lookism get and how they're going to fit certain scenes into this style. Considering that ...

Mixed Feelings
The title "Lookism", derived from the root word "look", suggests that the show is focused on one's appearance, which it is.

The show's premise is basically the segregation of the bad-looking ones and the good-looking ones, where those deemed bad-looking are at the bottom of the food chain, basically like trash, and have no rights to do anything, whereas those deemed good-looking are at the top of the food chain and have everything they could want. Viewers can see a clear disparity in how the bad-looking and good-looking are treated, with the former being beaten up, horsed around to do errands, and shitted on by the ...

As the manga messiah this type of content is a complete waste of time but I do this for the people that seek good content.

Basically its some obese kid that gets bullied and literally everyone hates him and thinks hes disgusting just because he is fat. They act like he cant have talent or do anything because he is fat. He will walk in the hallway and get his ass beat, girl look at him and get scared. He blames his mom for him being fat because she puts eggs in his ramen?? how about some accountability fatty go to the gym and prove them ...
