Lookism - Reviews

honestly I'm dissappointed how this manhwa turned out, When I was reading this before I rated it for myself as 9 and most arguably the most entertaining manhwa from that moment, It tackled a lot of issue but at the same time it tackled it in a way that is very unique, up to the point where it's a mixed of every genre out there. But ever since the gang shit came in at about hundreds of chapters or so it kinda lost tracked. I dont hate the gang violence and shit, but it still really grew to be a manhwa far worse than what it was. Also it came to the point where the antogonist or different characters are taking too much time out of the manhwa where one character can take 40 chapters in his back story. Once we had a slice of life with mixed genre with horror, cultist and etc stories now we have a one directional gang violence that characters taking 70% of the whole manhwa. I actually dropped it already, If you liked the first hundred chapters then you'll hate more the next hundred because you wont get the same feeling after.

Interesting concept that gets thrown by the wayside around 50 chapters in or so. It seems pretty clear that the other lost their original intention of making a drama focused around having two dramas in exchange for making a stereotypical, sub-par gang action story. It's fine, but once you hit the evil cult arc, which is awful btw, I suggest you stop reading unless you're in to the age-old friendship-is-magic-and-nobody-can-die style action plot. It's a shame becuase the author started with an interesting dramatic concept that never reaches a conclusion, obviously it will, just not as a slice-of-life drama. If the author had created two separate stories and separated out the two bodies or, at the very least, made fighting the focus of the story since the beginning, I would probably have a different opinion. Overall, it's just wasted potential. So far it's 441 chapters of mid.

I've seen so much praise for this manhwa and I don't really understand why. Although the premise is interesting, the story doesn't know where it wants to go, you end up seeing a lot of disconnected events that lead nowhere other than showing how strong the protagonist is in his new body.
I found the characters quite stereotyped, there are some notable ones but no one stands out among them.
The drawings are terrible, the art really sucks in this manhwa.
Overall it's a total failure, I really don't know why people keep praising this manhwa when there's nothing special about it.

Daniel is basically an as*hole at the start of the comic, a coward outside and a tiger at home. His mother is a sacrificial type, the best character in the manhua, a perfect example of a mother.
Then one day he gets a perfect second body which is good at everything, even than the pros, also learns fast like only watching something one time, n all girls swoon over him.. Even ghosts...basically the body is like a robot.

The comic is a collection of stories on various topics combined into one which is happening in the life of mc. 

Other than that, basically every other person thinks they r no joke n not to be trifled with only to get beaten up by the opposing party. There r basically no higher authorities, no teachers, no police, but that does not mean the bullying, the fear is unrealistic (far from it as there r many places where the bullying is so much that children commit suicide), its just exaggerated but its a comic so..
About other characters, Jay n vasco are gentle souls. They r my favourite characters after the mc's mother. Goo n gun are super cool.
My theory is the second body is actually their own body if they change their eating n exercise habits for the better..n maximum growth spurt.
N lastly, if anyone is still reading at this point, the horror arcs are the best.
The art is best.
There is good comedy.
N I'm a fujoshi n this comic is NOT a BL so I don't want to see any romance involving the mc. I know it's cruel but... I'm on 100+ chapter n There isn't much so I'm hopeful.

Do give this manhua a try.

Thank you author!!

N for the once who are calling this unrealistic..no need to even talk about serial killers.. Just See the case of yuka takaoka or even the tiktok killer.. Just because they are good looking people thinks the victims must have done something wrong.. If they had been ugly.. Ppl would have called them monsters 

PS: I always post reviews at the end but this comic is ongoing n there r many many chapters to go so..

Update: so I'm dropping this at chapter 194..the cycle is not on the road but an electronic one.. N it's not moving forward.. It's as if Daniel is stuck in a loop.. There is no learning curve for him.. or the author is just extending the comic.. Maybe I will get back to it someday. 

A masterpiece. Fabulous!! 

So I was quite skeptical before reading this. I am not very fond of body switch trope. But I must say I fell in love.

 Story: At first the plot was not that interesting but as time flew by it showed great development. This story depicts dark side of society. I read a review that said Good people = Asshole,  Ugly Fat = Good, kind-hearted etc.

Nope it's not like that. The story isn't like this. It shows that People are attracted to Pretty faces and the ones who are not pretty are mistreated. 

But The thing about this, is the story focuses more on the aspects of bullying, gambling, scamming, crimes etc.

Art: The art style is amazing. the fighting scenes feel like, I am actually there watching them. The story somehow tells the ugly side of the society and the art helps to show it.

Character: This is the best aspect of the story. At first I was kinda annoyed at the MC but as the story progresses he showed a great huge Character development. The other side characters like Vasco (Eun tae lee), Eli Jang, Jake, Sinu, etc are amazingly made. They have dept and the thing is this story shows that Everyone has their own problems.

Overall: This story is great. I want everyone to read this. I just wosh this gains more popularity. Great story, great characters, great art. This has everything I ever needed. Listen to me and read this. You might find it a bit boring at first, you just have to wait till the name 4 Crew is mentioned from then on you won't get bored ever.
