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 ... I doubt that this artstyle is sustainable in the long run.

The Soundtrack is nothing special but certainly not bad either.

It adapted the source material very well. From memory I believe they adapted everything faithfully except for leaving out the "beauty contest" during the school festival and some not too plot relevant bullying scenes.

The last Episode ends at around chapter 27 of the webtoon but does use somes scenes involving Crystal from later chapters.

For Manhwa readers there's a lot to look forward to! Our favorite characters like Jay, Zack, Tabasco and even Gun make their first animated appearances.
For newcomers it's not all that complicated and a rather light hearted kdrama-esque high school anime with bullying and fights.

Give it a watch and let's hope for season 2.
