One of the reasons I began reading manhwas was because Lookism was one of the first manhwas I ever read, and it is one of the finest manhwas I have ever read. I’m becoming aware that this enormous web has more masterpieces.
Taejun Park is the author and illustrator of the South Korean manhwa Lookism. With 543 chapters gathered, it has been serialized on Naver Webtoon since 2014. Since the major event hasn’t begun yet, it is still in the publication stage , We can learn how these stories hallenge or reinforce existing beauty standards in society , also the teenagers problem’s ( Drugs-Bullying-Gangs-Schoollife….) .
It tells the tale of Daniel Park, who is ridiculed and subjected to discrimination by society due to his appearance. He is really ugly—really, he looks like a pig. He learns that he has two bodies as he moves to a new school (since he is so frequently bullied): the new, attractive body and the old, ugly, and ridiculed body. He investigates how people approach him differently depending on how he looks using both of his bodies.
The concept of this masterwork examines the disparities in treatment between individuals who are deemed attractive and those who are not. It also looks at how people might take use of their beauty.
Some people find this theme or idea to be rather dull, so they stop reading the series after the first thirty chapters, while others continue with the first hundred but quit. My advice is to try reading it through to the 200 or 300 chapters because, after that, they gradually transform it into a war of some kind (not a conflict between high school students, but a conflict between generations, or between organizations and gangs or crews), and to consider that point of view, Taejun Park has a lot of ambitious plans for the future.
It has a number of extremely fierce characters that set the series on fire, including Gun, Vasco, Daniel Park, and several more including Manager Kim ( who has his own serie “Manager Kim” ) . the universe of lookism has other manhwa’s in the same universe .
highly recommend this webtoon to you , Whether you’re drawn to the action-packed fight sequences or the thought-provoking social commentary, “Lookism” promises an engaging and impactful reading experience that will leave you questioning the values of our appearance-obsessed society .
