Welp it wasn't that interesting,the korean voice actors do a decent job,it looks clean enough but the story feels like something that was overdid,i lost all interest.

But still i need to ask, Manhwa readers does it get more interesting? Or will it be 8 episodes of mc slaying some meows with his new body?

8 episodes wont even cover 10% of the main part of the webtoon, hopefully there’s more episodes coming out soon cos this is just the build up to the good stuff

Pretty damn depressing first episode. Some anime or animations from Asia really amp up the human cruelty. Not complaining, though. I was pretty invested in the story. I think Episode 1 served as a decent exposition for the main character.

Fuck my ass i have read the first 40 ish chapter so i could see how the anime(is this an anime or whatever koreans call anime) does in comparison to the webtoon but they use the korean names here and i was so used to the mc being daniel :( but so far not really that bad of a pacing, probably the best pacing a webtoon anime has so far.

I think they're going to cut some parts that, based on what I've read, don't add almost anything to the main story, they would just be complements to the main story

I've read the first few chapters a while ago and I can't remember that the bullying was this fucked up. Impossible to feel bad for the MC when he's like that to his mother 🤷🏻‍♂️ I guess we're not supposed to since he's an unlikeable coward.

But pretty enjoyable start. Hilarious concept for a wish fulfillment that's still up to the minute.

Leaves a bad taste that a miracle kicks it off, would've preferred it if he worked for his looks.

Yeah, I'm not a fan. Everybody looks awkward and the movements are stiff, like the framerate is too low. It's giving me that uncomfortable, uncanny feeling.

For those who are disappointed: I haven't read Manhwa, so my opinion is only limited to anime.
I found the first two episodes awful, the portrayal of how ugly people are treated is extremely unrealistic (which tbh shouldn't matter if it's still interesting—which isn't the case here). Based on first 2 eps I guessed it will like 5/10 anime for me. But after that it keeps getting better once you get past its initial flaws. And by the end of the eighth episode, you will be craving for more. I hope that Netflix will give a green light to a next season.
One more thing, OP and insert song are also great.
It is shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult.

we have a week nerd without self esteem that isn't able to go against the bullies wishes and then turns into a pretty looking guy. Honestly i don't like bullying histories like this because of the bellied mindset("i can't go against... orders" "I'm a peace o shit" " why don't you do more for me mama?"), if it was me i well beat the shit out of anyone who tries to bully me and then make his life a hell.

2 weeks earlier, he was bullied and he wants to transfer, but his financial condition ain't great so his mother gives him excuses. But then, the next day, his mom sees him getting bullied. Apparently, she went to school to discuss his transfer and happened to witness it by chance. She wants him to transfer alone, without her. He transfers and moves to his new place, hoping to have a new life. But his daydreams are shattered by his stupid actions, grinning at a stranger after bumping, literally creepy irrespective of looks. People record him getting beaten up, and it gets viral. He cries himself to sleep.

The very next day, he wakes up to be inside an unknown ikemen, but his original body lies where he slept. When he tries to wake the other body, he wakes up in that body, and vice-versa. Finally, he feels like he can change his life with this new body. Thus, he goes to his new school in his new body.

This hope of new life with a new look reminds me of a Chinese anime (donghua), Huang Yan. Let's see how this differs from that.

The bullying was because he's fat but looks like he doesn't really know how to behave in front of people, him grinning when the girl apologized was creepy ngl. The instant change in personality when he changed bodies is weird.

Not a fan of the art-style and animation doesn't seem to be the best, maybe it's because I'm just way too used to Japanese style animation.

I know bullying can get pretty hardcore in some parts of Asia what we see happen to him is the kind of thing that actually happens a lot, I've seen so many people calling it over exaggerated or unrealistic but maybe those people just aren't aware what it can get like there? And applying their own culture/environments to it. Idunno. Like maybe they think because bullying isn't this bad in my country/environment then people aren't treated like this? But they definitely are, I will keep an eye out for anything I feel is exaggerated but I've heard of and seen evidence of much worse than what we've seen him go through in this ep.

Some other media like Erased and Sweet Home touch on this too. But particularly in Korea I believe it is the worst. Look up the school bullying culture in Korea if you have your doubts. You will see it often pop up as a theme in certain media.

Onto my impressions, I like the premise and am interested to see where it goes, although I can easily see it disappointing me. Hopefully it takes an interesting route following his body switching.

Chad of Chads: The Animation. This was actually better than I'd expected. The social media humiliation got me the most since as outrageous as it was, it felt like the least exaggerated part of the MC's torment.
