The story is really great because it has true topics that nobody speaks so openly about them, like the discrimination to other people for their experience, bully abuse, the pressure of the social media nowadays and others. This story has drama, comedy, mystery and some chapters are even wicked.
The characters are developed so good because each one of them have an important role in the story, even the bad ones has a good background story and with the story progress you can understand more about their actions.
The art is pretty good and like in other webtoons it has color.
The updates are every week and

"Don't judge a book by its cover," is what everybody says.
This story is about how unattractive people in the world survive and deal with bullying and criticism every day. Please take note that there are 2 versions of this, and the names are different in both. For example, HyungSuk=Daniel HaNeul=Zoe MiJin=Mira Story: I haven't read anything quite like Lookism, so I was instantly hooked by the unique storyline. Daniel is a fat, unattractive guy and is bullied every day. Therefore he transfers to another school to avoid the bullies. One day before he starts school, he wakes up to be extremely handsome, fit, strong, everything a man wants to be, ...

His family is poor so they live in a shabby house with low quality food. his mom is the only person that helped him in life but he said harsh things towards her, even tho shes his only ally in ...

Story 8/10
A lot of people seems to dislike this manhwa because of the bad storyline. It does, in the first half of the beginning. But the story is getting better and better over the time. I read this manhwa until 300++ chapters and I dare to say that it's worth it! This manhwa contains information about the martial art techniques, origin, etc and it made me became more interested to learn them. The comedy might annoy some people but its actually work for me. At first, the story only focused to school-bully and body shaming dramas but as time goes on the story turns into ...

Lookism is a South Korean manhwa (comic) series written and illustrated by Park Tae-jun. The story is about a high school student named Park Hyung-suk who is bullied for being overweight. One day, Daniel Park, a visionary student and athlete, wakes up and the story follows his journey as he navigates two different worlds in his old and new body.
The artwork in Lookism is amazing, the design of each character is unique and memorable. The author does a great job of conveying emotions through facial expressions and body language, making the characters feel real and relatable. One of the strengths of Lookism is how to deal ...

Note: [Spoilers]
It's been a few weeks since I caught up with this manhwa but it is certainly very addictive, I also didn't know it had a MAL page so I'm going to add my thoughts of it here~~~ Story: The story behind Lookism isn't fully articulated until the high school transfer but I feel that the approach of having a character that is obese being bullied on the lower end of the social spectrum also getting a chance to experience life on the upper echelon of the spectrum makes for an entertaining but educational narrative. The Story follows Danial Park, a bullied high school student ...

I almost didn't read this because the (extremely short) synopsis of the story really turned me off. "Oh great, a story about how an unattractive and unpopular guy magically turns into a hot guy and gets all of the girls and his life is great - what a great message....NOT". I am glad that I gave into the high reviews and gave the story a shot, though, because my initial impression could not have been any more wrong.
Instead of a wish-fulfillment story about someone whose life sucked but suddenly gets better because of a change in appearance, this manhwa is a story that explores ...

I think most people who read under 200 chapters give bad reviews, and people who read over 200 chapters mostly give good reviews(?)
. [Spoiler] #I will give an outline of the life journey of the main character, from chapter 1 to 442 = 1. park hyungseok original(daniel) will become a popular streamer on Twitch, he earns a lot of money and sends it to his mother. 2. He will succeed in overcoming his fear of the "jujitsu black belt" owner who bullies him (Taelee/Logan). 3. he finally has many friends, there are even 2 women who sincerely love him as he is. 4. he will practice martial arts ...

My biggest problem with this series is that the characters have almost become caricatures of themselves. Despite the stereotypical drama everyone starts off with, it really does bring you in to care about the characters. As the plot goes on, they start to lose the feel of who they are ever so slightly like a small itch that doesn't go away.
Despite this I still gave the series a 9 because I enjoy it so much. Overall it does a good job of investing you into the characters and the action is amazing, along with an interesting plot. Is it anything new? No. But it's just ...

*I will be using English versions of the names*
Lookism. Out of the two manhwas I've read this one far surpasses the first. On the surface it seems like a simple story about Daniel Park who gets bullied for being overweight. And when he decides to transfer to another school he finds himself in mysterious yet perfect body. Story: Reading Lookism is like going down a rabbit hole. After I crossed the chapters that are already animated (I first watched the animation) it only got more interesting. The whole story is relatively complex and every little action is part of a much bigger picture. In the later chapters ...

Lookism is a masterpiece of the action manhwa genre of all time.
Story 10/10 (minor spoiler here) This comic starts with the story of a fat dude that gets bullied a lot. The storyline is really confusing about where to go in the first chapters, it really makes the reader discontinue reading the comic. The story just tells "-oh shit another bully bad guy and this protagonist has to overcome his fears, boom the bad guy is punished, and then-". At this point, most of the readers are discouraged by this kind of naive story and at some point, the author snapped the fuck out and ...

Lookism is a manhwa that is confused about its own identity. But I can't really say I hate it, in fact I've grown to like it after a few hundred chapters.
The story starts with a high school boy named Park Hyung-Suk who's not attractive and bullied and suddenly has a second body that's athletic and very good looking. The early chapters focuses on the struggles of the students who are not good looking and how it affects how people treats them. The story tells different perspectives on the good looking and the ugly people and how they are treated and it's pretty interesting to ...

This is my first review, so I decided to do it for my favorite manhwa.
Summary of my review: The story evolved around a guy named Daniel Park. He got blessed to have 2 bodies, which each bodies have a very separate trait. One is typical coolest handsome guy with OP moves and other body is fat lame guy who always got bullied. Daniel's adventure start in his high school after he moved from different school cause kept getting bullied, he meet different kinds of people and friends. The story focused on moral issue towards looks of people so much, then adding some "Crow" gang fights that ...

Lookism is one of my favorite webtoons, and I'd like you to like it too, but I can't say it's for you, just keep this in mind, for some of you, it may spiral out of control, for some of you, it may have a very slow start, I hope this review, other than showing my appreciation for the webtoon, I hope it can also help anyone reading to know if this manhwa is for them, so let's begin
The story starts with the protagonist, Park Hyun Seok, or Daniel Park, who is bullied, fat, and ugly, he gets transferred to a different school in Seoul, ...

Park Hyung Suk(Daniel), overweight and unattractive, is bullied and abused on a daily basis. But a miracle is about to happen.
Story 10+/10 The story focuses on Daniel's adventures and the fact that he has two bodies, as we will see later we will also tell a lot about the other characters giving us the opportunity to know them from our point of view and not only that of the protagonist.They are treated themes that not all works have the courage to rappresent, a clear example are pedophilia, rape, obsession, stalking and even religious themes.The bullisma is not romanticized and we see that each of the ...

most of these reviews say lookism is generic and just full of moments where daniel fights people and helps the weak. but daniel himself is still weak minded. no matter what, daniel's mind will always go back to those days and he'll always feel terrible over what his mother did for him.
not to mention the addition of crystal's father, big 4 crew and james lee opened so many more doors in the story. most of these bad reviews are from before the chapters where the most exciting part of the whole series is introduced. if i were you, i'd definitely read lookism. a really good story ...

(8/10) I came across this gem a few years ago and have been keeping up with it ever since. I really enjoyed the topic it explores, the characters, the art style, and especially the fight scenes. Although this is one of my favorite webtoons it doesn’t mean that it’s flawless. The plot became way too confusing. Too many characters are getting introduced left and right leaving the main cast behind. Even though their personalities and past are well developed, the lack of scenes with these certain characters makes them kinda useless. The pacing wasn’t entirely bad but it wasn’t good either. With new arcs not

Story - 8
The story focuses on the concept of Lookism through the main character Daniel who suffers from bullying at the hands of other students who have more influence than him and are basically the anime bullies who are strong and powerful. The start is really good and focuses on Daniel as a character while also branching out to other characters that I like, such as Zack, Vasco, Zoe, and Mira. It does get some filler but personally I enjoy it, it shows the dynamic between the characters and will in some way lead to some sort of character progression. The story at the start ...

Lookism is a very interesting series, written by an author who does not know when to quit for his own good! (the hallmark quality of a good author)
Ugly and fat daniel park is bullied relentlessly, and although his single widow mother is poor, after witnessing the truth of how he was treated at school, decide to grant him his wish to transfer schools. Daniel moves to seoul, and one morning he wakes up in a muscular and good looking body, while his old body sleeps, the other one is awake. The main theme of Lookism is vanity, and also lookism itself, defined as the discriminatory treatment of ...

Honestly, I have very mixed feelings about Lookism. I can't say this manwha is for everyone, or even for you specifically, but I do know that the story does evolve greatly as you read. I had some doubts in the beginning, but as I read the plot practically became a completely new story, and it got me hooked. If you don't like the story in the beginning, I wouldn't give up on it yet. However, it is a long manwha, so depending on how invested you can be, it might not be realistic to keep reading in hopes you enjoy it later on.
