    The best part of lookism is that Daniel learns that he was not only ugly, but a rude person to people like his mother. So he learns that handsome body or not, he has to self improve, and he actually does! He makes friends in his true body and improves as a person. Much unlike true beauty.

      ​@@LeBreads When I ended up dropping it a couple years back it was locked in loops of overly long arcs about unimportant characters (like the haircut/teen father guy which I was interested in somewhat but literally it was months worth of chapters on that 1 guy who wasn't even a main at the time and when it ended BAM another one around the corner) and long arcs of fighting homeless crime family's/pimps/hustlers. Like tbf I'm a person who didn't care about where the powers came from or anything but I loved the problem of the week emotional learning parts with Hyung-Suk/Daniel so all the tangents eventually made me give it up.

      @yotashiprokou7283 Год назад +7

      @@pokemonfan1123 it's a great webtoon. A really good part of it which Chalupa could not point out from just 10 episodes, is that Daniel has character development. Most webtoons or even long shows are too afraid to change their protagonist's archetype, but Lookism is not shy. They make Daniel acknowledge his mistakes, try to improve and even have a lovely touch of reminding you that "pretty Daniel and original Daniel are the same person, you like it or not", by touching on the trauma he has been through and how it controls him even in his new body. It's a very good read, super strength and Deus ex machina mechanics aside, the characters feel like actual people with their own goals and motivations, typically appropriate for high school students (be the coolest, be the strongest, be the most beautiful etc).

      Jay? Duke? Who are those guys? Continuing the plot line with Crystal, why she has 2 bodies, and how it relates to Daniel? Nah, let's have a whole arc about forgiving the drug addict chick who throws s-assault parties, that's far more riveting.

      @@depressedrocksenjoyer9472 I agree with you. I haven't caught up as I stopped reading it around when the OG "piggy" Daniel was put in that place for experiments or whatever it was (it was a while ago lol) but I tried rereading it recently and I stopped reading around the end of the Hostel arc/ God Dog arc (whichever one is the furthest into the story lol) because they just start throwing in so many new characters and it's hard to keep up and put focus on the original ones and the plot just goes everywhere. Like, I enjoyed the exposure on the lives of homeless people and gangs and etc but after a bit it's just like; "wasn't this just supposed to be about a guy learning to love himself and respect what he has? And make new friends and start a new life with people who like him for who he is?" Like, I appreciate the incorporation of plots that refer to (what I'm assuming are) actual Korean issues and norms (?) but at some point it just becomes too much. Maybe it's just me but it's hard to keep up with all that stuff when you're also trying to remember who's who and where and when they were incorporated into the story. (I realize my original comment was k i n d of misleading as I forgot to mention that I haven't caught up to the current updates lol but from where I left off on the story that was my opinion at that point)

      The problem with both webtoons is that they got too long. True Beauty also started well, and could’ve been good if her character showed any sort of growth or development from her low self esteem. About 30 chapters in it all went to shit.

    The Hostel arc was probably the saddest arc along Jiho's character arc like the line "The story of Hostel was a tragedy from the beginning to the end" has been engraved into my mind.

      In the case of Jiho, I think he was a bit of a lost cause (as much as I hate to use that phrase for kids) because every time he kept taking one step forward, he pushed himself back and he hid behind all his friends instead of being like Duke and Daniel and making the effort to improve. He was materialistic and didn't even see big Daniel and Zack as friends but instead, as a show of status. It's realistic, of course, not everyone is going to do their best for themselves but he was irritating at best. Zack, both Daniels and Vasco all stood up for him and he didn't do anything but cause trouble for them and get involved in illegal happenings because he wanted to try and "prove himself". I can't say he didn't deserve his time in prison (he did try to kill Daniel by pushing him off a 5 storey building and then wished he wouldn't wake up, you can't excuse that) but the deterioration of his character during his sentence was sad nonetheless

    Lookism is such a great webtoon. It only gets better and better, it touches many issues, gambling, the idol industry, stalkers etc. And the best of all is that you see Daniel have character development. There's so many webtoons that have a character archetype and do nothing with it, but here the whole point is Daniel's journey. It's great!!

    Lookism has some of the best world building when it comes to webtoons/manhwas, it isn't recycled garbage and even though it started off as a drama the progression shows. The manhwa doesn't forget important characters, usually returning in future arcs and each individual favorite character all either have their own continuation or conclusion. 10/10 loved catching up

  • @Costenos
    @Costenos Год назад +29

    It's irritating to see many people who say lookism got off point. When it genuinely never did, if any of you bothered to read into the characters you'd understand that lookism is literally imbedded into every arc and villain.
    Vasco at the beginning based everybody was a bad guy because of how attractive they were. Then he changed his perspective on what a "Bad guy" even is when he noticed that every "bad guy" was sacrificing their goodness for the sake of somebody important like Johan and jake kim.
    When jake kim appeared everybody assumed he was just a random villain who did bad things for no readon but the entire time he was fighting to save somebody who he cared about. To assume somebody is a bad person without knowing their story is lookism.
    Johan was merciless, he gave up everyhting. Everybody viewed him as a bad guy. But he just wanted to save his mothers eyes, everybody who assumed he was a bad guy didn't know his story.
    This entire story is a masterpiece if you just take some time to understand all the characters, and its okay to drop things because you dont like it. But don't say its slowed down or it got bad after the gang stuff because it didn't.
    Lookism is by far the greatest thing I've ever read.

    Thank you Mr. Chalupa for a fair review of lookism, it's really a good long story and the characters get so much development. The personalities you read in the beginning change throughout the entire series and it's amazing. Also I recommend reading viral hit too, it is more focused on the mc building himself from the ground up via training rigorously for a period and then deciding to take that into a way to give help both to his mom and others like him. The plot far in it is really deep but very well done and the characters also gain development points at good parts where it effortlessly fits in.

    I think some bullying victims find embarrassment from the help of an adult (i.e. teacher or parent) likely because their bullies verbally and emotionally isolate them with shame, power, status, or some form of control (one example is weaponizing a topic the victim is sensitive with); and manipulate them to thinking they are weak for asking for help (even culture, peer-pressure, desire to be accepted by standing alone could play a part in this). Moreover, another reason could be the bullies blackmailing or promising the victims that they will retaliate at the expense of asking for help. And last (of what I know), victims assume that the adults will just create a scene, making others know which would make the victims self-conscious; or be a very temporal help, like it might mitigate the bullying for a moment but the victim will still be bullied in the end. The bottom line is that shame really is a big factor. NOTE: I'm not an expert in this kind of stuff.. I'm giving out my thoughts

    I've been victim of bullying at school my whole childhood and I tell from self experience why victims bullying do no tell parents or teachers they are getting bullied in case someone is wondering.
    I can't tell for everyone, so most of it is based on self experience, also, there are lot of reasonst that a could mention and the reasons may also vary depending the coutry, so I'll focus on how it is in my country and the main reasons for it.
    As for the teacher, one reason is because it mostly don't work or can even get things worse for you. There are several reasons for that, but mostly is because the teacher can not do much about it, because they have not the power need for or just because they simply don't wanna get involved in that. It may sound irresponsible, but if we look at the point of view of a teacher, getting involved in it will just bring more problems in their lives that they rather avoid and also, how can teacher take care and control 1500,2000,3000 students that most of the time don't even have a basic education or discipline at home. Also, even if they do something, the max punishiment would a suspension (which is pretty much like a holiday for bullies), or in the worst case scenario, both the bully and the victim get punished , or just the victim get punished( it happened to me), which as I said before, will only get things worse.
    Now as for not telling the parents, it has nothing to do with being embarrasing, actually most kids want to tell their parents, but the results are usually pretty bad, unless the parents have the resources to move out with the kid to another place, which is not the case for most families. The reason can be because the kid don't want to trouble their parents with that and also cause telling your parents will just make the bullying a whole lot worse ( I did the mistake to tell my mom) This happens because , it will trigger the rage of the bully, and who do you think will take all this rage upon? yes, the poor kid which WILL NOT have their parents around to hold their hands. The parent will not be at the school, but the bully will, and the bullying will be 10X worse then it was before. and everytime your parent try to do something, the bullying will get worse. So the way to "solve this" is not telling your parents.
    These are basically the two main reasons of why victims of bullying might not tell to teachers or parents they are being victims of bullying, again, I am telling for everyone, your case might be different, also, if your family is poor or not , it also can differ the reasons, but generally that's what happen around here.

    Seasons of Blossom
    i don't know if this webtoon will make the most entertaining content, but i want to recommend it because it's my favorite comic and it's actually a good story
    it's actually 4 stories that intertwine at the end (hence "seasons"), and it starts off a bit dumb with a fake relationship plot, but the message is about bullying and suicide prevention, so i still think it's worth reading. it becomes less about romance by the end so hopefully you can enjoy that, and the artwork is nice. it's also the only comic that made me cry lol.
    also the first story is literally the "me and the bad bitch i pulled by being autistic" meme, so hopefully that makes it more enjoyable :)
    EDIT: mentioning this comic after your comment about bullying - this comic does a really good job portraying how bullying affects people. also, i like that the characters in Seasons of Blossom actually feel like normal teenagers.

      i also hope gaeul returns at the end so she gets another chance with subin, they were so cute together.
      your english is pretty good, no worries! i'm bilingual so i understand the struggle haha

    I really do enjoy lookism literally everyone has some type of backstory even though its a lot of fighting later on the workers 3rd affiliate arc and hostel are the best arcs in the series because at that points its still character driven

    From what I understand, the teachers disappearing every time someone's getting bullied is pretty accurate in South Korea.

    Chalupa if you like you this one, I’d recommend ORV or Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint. Idk if you’d like it or not but give it a try.

    I've been reading this since i started middle school. I am now in highschool and still keeping up with this webtoon. It just really blew my mind when i first started reading it.
