Synopsis

Park Hyung Suk has spent all 17 years of his life at the bottom of the food chain. Short, overweight, and unattractive, he is used to being bullied by his classmates and constantly discriminated against for his looks. In an attempt to escape his biggest bully, Lee Tae Sung, he decides to transfer to Seoul's Jae Won High School, a vocational preparatory school notorious for its liberal education system and carefree students.

Days before his transfer, Hyung Suk wakes to find that he is no longer in his usual chubby body, but is instead in a perfect body! Tall, handsome, and beautifully toned, Hyung Suk has become the ideal version of himself. The only problem is that his original body still lays beside him—and when one body falls asleep, he awakens in the other.

Now possessing two extremely different bodies, Hyung Suk must learn to navigate his new and much more popular life at J High whilst also solving the mystery of where his second, almost superhuman, body came from.

Preliminary (295/? eps)
After having caught up with the 499th chapters, this isy review.

Looks matters! Here's the story about MC Daniel Park (Park Hyung Suk) who changes school after facing racism based on his looks and fat body. One day he finds himself in another body (perfect body) while his original body is lying on the floor.

Till chapter 300, the story only revolves around the schools, teenagers, friends. It gets more serious after the 300th chapter. It picks up pace and you get to see MORE ACTION, STRONG FIGHTERS, GANG WARS after this.

What's best about this manhwa is you get the BACKSTORY OF EVERY ...

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (8/? eps)
I watched the anime on Netflix, don't expect too much but also not too little. If you like relaxed and quite calm anime, this anime is perfect for you. I really liked it because it has a lot to do with today's generation and with the saying - don't judge a book by its cover

It's often a bit predictable, but it still remains very exciting throughout the 8 episodes. I had the feeling that I was seeing more and more of it because I always wanted to know what would happen next


I would recommend if you like this genre.

*MINOR SPOILER AHEAD*


(This is my first review I've ever written, so bear with me when my words aren't the most elaborate. I am open to suggestions and advice, so please feel free to criticize me in a constructive manner. Note that this was also slovenly written)

Reading the first 4 chapters of Lookism, I was elated to continue reading. The joy and satisfaction of a student being bullied excessively and judged for his ugly looks finally getting a good life was overwhelming. So overwhelming that I overlooked the minor problems it had. Alas, that opinion slowly degraded and in recent chapters I was utterly disappointed how ...
