story characters art music op/ed extra my rating please keep in mind that the final rating might be solely based on my personal enjoyment the review itself is just me discussing all the factors mentioned above. important: i always write how big the spoiler is to avoid spoiling it for you : story well the premise is not anything special an ugly dude becomes handsome. i like the system of how it works tho because its not like his previous body just dissapears minor spoiler ahead at first it sounds like a wattpad story kind of thing but its not bad really. some episodes end with cliffhangers and its very bingefriendly i watched the whole thing in a single day but... undeniably the story is really frustrating at times especially in the 1st half of the show for example dumb misunderstandings such as the one in ep4 spoiler ahead the plot of that episode was annoying in general and its not the only episode that was annoying in that way or another tbh but somehow its still an interesting watch in a way that i wouldnt be able to drop it... i was just curious what will happen next and there were some episodes and moments that were really good especially ep6 that was one hell of a good episode really moving. but the story is undeniably not perfect and the biggest flaw is obvious at least for me: the fights. there was not a single episode when they werent fighting. ik that they wanted to show how people get physically bullied just because theyre ugly but those fights were just boring to watch after some time maybe its a culture difference although i dont think thats the reason but when kids in high school fight no one actually stops them?? and the other kids just start to record the fight?? really?? is there not a single decent human being out there?? and where tf are the teachers during breaks?? there was like only one time when a teacher actually stopped the fight... this isnt tokyo revengers for the love of god. with such a premise you dont need dumb boring fights in every single episode. im not even going to mention that one of the fights was in a middle of a STREET and legit ADULTS just started recording it instead of trying to help the kid that was getting beaten up. like boi?? wtf spoiler ahead i get that the show wanted to like show how different life is depending on how you look and how people approach and treat you but some of the fights were really pointless and they werent even intresting. well maybe they would bE IF THEY DIDNT FIGHT EVERY SINGLE EPISODE?? im sorry but thats just so irritating. characters the cast is well... sometimes great sometimes not that great. in the first half of the show almost all of the characters were annoying and just shit. later on it turned out that Basco is a big dum dum JaeYeol Hong is adorable SooJung Choi is kinda cute the protags mom was sweet from the beginning and the protags friendship with those 2 guys in the 2nd half of the show was cute too. but the 1st half of the show... welp the flirty girl was unbearable i really had enough of her. when it comes to other characters the worst thing about all the other guys is that most of them are really mean for no reason?? and its not like only the secondary characters are shit even the background characters are assholes going back to what i said before maybe its a culture difference but when kids in high school fight no one actually stops them?? and the other kids just start to record the fight?? really?? is there not a single decent human being out there?? yeah i dont think i have to say anything more... now about the main character. hes okay really. but sometimes sometimes he makes choices that just make me want to throw my phone to the other side of the room. but thats alr were all human we all make mistakes and i guess i could understand at least some of his bad choices. none the less he had some cute/cool moments such as spoiler ahead so hes not a bad protagonist i think ive seen worse. art not much to say here. its not bad but im not a huge fan of the artstyle either. animation is okay too. music music is... existent. its just the kind of opening/ending you would always skip so nothing to say here. extra want to watch something with cool fights?? just go watch tokyo revengershttps://anilist.co/anime/120120/TokyoRevengers/. its not similar but somehow its in the recommended section for lookism?? either way its a cool show so go watch it if you havent yet. also dont get me wrong i dont think lookism is a bad show watch it if you want but dont expect it to be a 10/10 masterpiece. as long as youre not very picky with anime you can give it a try its only 8 episodes long so why not? and it gets really good after ep5 my rating a flawed show that is trying to make us acknowledge an issue that is very simple yet so important and somehow suceeds but sometimes exxagerates things a bit and tries too hard a 7/10 for me.
