Why Lookism is really good : The main character HyungSuk Park shows a lot of determination to help his fellow man which make him a really good character for the show and to succeed in living two very different lives that must not be so simple. But he is not the smartest person since he often mistakes on how he should act toward the others or what body he is in xD but his sympathy in connection with what he has been through really helps him to support his other classmates who underwent harassment as he had. The harassment is pretty well shown even if it is quite exaggerated but its okay at least it accentuates this point so the viewer is outraged and its in Korea so their point of view is really different on this kind of things on the other hand its a bit simple the way he handles his own harassment even tho the double life shows that its not that simple. The girl who is a fan of the main character is not so annoying and almost nice i say this because I saw a lot of girls like that in anime and they are often unbearable. Its really clich to the max like people are all hateful and act like whores in real life its disgusting to see the studio show that pretty well. On the other hand its really too weird that in a country with so many cameras people act like that like no one is afraid to go to jail ? and people beat other people in supermarket or school with cameras or witnesses. Im not saying that it doesnt happen IRL but its really all the time and its quit annoying to see them fight for no reason just because they are crazy kid. Their reactions are so exaggerated like when how beautiful he is but its actually very funny and I guess thats because this is Korean and it takes a lot of the style of KDrama and at least its a change for anime. Hopefully there are many characters that are really nice and interesting whether they are appreciated by the viewers or not many have their own personality. And some even evolve in their mentality and we hope to see them all evolve towards a mentality less centered on appearance. And in the end there are many more characters that I love than characters that I hate and I think with the mentality changing this while balance even more. Actually the fights and confrontation are really insane for an anime that is not specialized in this especially when its the first anime of the studio so the general animation is really well done for a first. manwha info : Its just feel sometimes weird when it keep switching between 2D and 3D but I didnt find it really bothering that much the 3D is quite good and sometime just them switching to 3D out of nowhere was really funny. The opening is really insane the group that sang it made a real hit and the visuals are cool with the characters of the anime that dance it looks really good.

Just that moment is amazing as much as hearing as living because at that moment everyone is enjoying without judging too much even if the harassment doesnt stop here but its a good start.

Wow thats really great.
