[Recommendation] Webtoon: Lookism

Okay, so these days I'm really into manhwa. What I mean is, I'm not in the mood for japanese manga, and prefer to webtoon, that is the cleaner version of manhwa. It's mainly because the dialogue and storyline of webtoon is delivered neatly. Unlike a book, webtoon is enjoyed by scrolling, just like reading a screenshot of a movie.

There are so many good webtoons that I liked. Can I have a list for it? Alright, let's see:

1. Noblesse (My first love of webtoon)

2. Pinocchio (I totally recommend this one but it's been a long time to me so I'm kinda forgetting the story ㅋㅋ)

3. Tales of the Unusual (A collection of horror stories, not really thrilling but amusing)

4. Vault of Horror (horror stories collection too)

5. He is a High School Girl (It's still ongoing and really funny)

6. 7. 8. So on and on and on...

Actually I forgot the other names and those 5 are the top-list that I keep seeing.

But this post is focused only for one webtoon! The one that makes my heart 'dugeun-dugeun' and waiting like hell.

LOOKISM.

Speaking of the author, I didn't realize at first that the name "Park Tae Jun" is the same person of ulzzang "Park Tae Jun". OMG seriously I knew him since around 2010 when he joined Ulzzang Generation Season 2 and that time I constantly visited his shopping mall, Aboki (only for looking his photoshoot). And this man is really one of a kind. How can a cute, good looking, and business man like him could draw a webtoon? Life is so unfair. And he also could sing, actually. Life is double unfair because of him.

Can we move right to the story? Here is the overview of Lookism:

Speaking of the story itself, Lookism is about an ugly high-schooler that got bullied by his friends and also got discrimination only because of his look. Then, he moved to another school and suddenly had another bodies and could swap it to one another. His other body is a strong and super good looking, so he got into a new school with that body. His new school is no different with his previous, the bullying was happening too.   But with his new body, he's living a new life. He got friends, girls were surrounding him, and he also tried to defend the bullied. Later, he was on his way to change himself by his experience in that new body.

There are so many plus points for this webtoon actually. First of all, the hot good looking character. How could I say this... They are handsome, strong and young, so why should I miss it? Then, they really know how to fight. It seems like school is for fight only, I think. But the people around Hyungsuk, the lead character, are really good people. I don't know, somehow it's really amusing and worth reading.

Second, the plot is really comical and heart-warming. I remembered laughing and sobbing while reading it. It has a perfect balance for everything, seriously.

Then, this is a really mega plus point for this webtoon. I got shocked when I found out about it. Park Tae Jun, you... Ah...

The character for this webtoon is based on a real people in the real world. That Park Hyung Suk as the lead is potrayed according to the model of Aboki with the same name. He is an ulzzang. For you who don't know the meaning of ulzzang, it's for good looking boys and girls in internet, shortly, they are like a internet celeb who get recognition by their looks.

When you're already fallen love with the character and then you found out there's someone out there with a figure just like what you dreamed...  You know how it feels, right?

Not only the lead character, I thought every character in the story is based on real people. The setting itself is also following the trend. It's like enjoying real people's story in real world, seriously. Yeah, like reading someone's diary. For example, the author put the real idols like BTS in conversation and girlgroup 2EYES performing PIPPI song.

And one more thing. Did you see the ads for Line Webtoon on Youtube or TV? Yes, it shows the live action version of Lookism. In case you didn't realize it, here is a screenshot of it:

It would be great if those popular webtoon, such as Noblesse and also Lookism to have a live action, in anime version or maybe a drama. Anyway, seeing Lookism was chosen as one of the Line Webtoon's ads, it means this webtoon already gained a big popularity.

Actually, I didn't follow the chapters via the app, because in my country version, it goes really slow while the original already passed more than 50 chapters. I choose to rely on online manga sites that releases faster.

At the end, I really reccommend this one. It's perfect for girls or boys, with a full package of everything and totally interesting. I simply lack of words to explain it, though.

It's 5 of 5 stars for everything with a freshly big heart from me.

MAKE SURE YOU DON'T EVER MISS IT, OKAY?

Have a good day, everyone.
