Lookism review

Lookism was great, but all I remember now is its wasted potential. TL;DR at bottom

I used to love Lookism, so much so that I would recommend it to all of my friends who liked Webtoons. It had a unique concept, and it acted as a form of social commentary on "lookism," or discrimination on the basis of looks, while still being an entertaining series with a colourful cast of mostly likable characters. If my score was based on my original opinion, I would've easily given the series at least an 8/10, so why do I give it a 5?

The story. I started reading Lookism because it was an interesting drama with well-placed humour and interesting social commentary. As I kept reading, I began to like it less and less but was convinced that there was to be a semblance of the original series I adored. There wasn't. By the time I dropped it at the end of 2019, at chapter 260, there was no trace of the story I had loved. I was utterly perplexed by what was going on (I believe it had something to do with a gang war or something), and too many new (and useless) characters had been added that it was too confusing to follow.

I don't know exactly when I began to dislike Lookism, but I know that I am very disappointed in the direction the story was heading. If you're curious as to why I originally liked the series, read it for yourself. But don't hesitate to drop it as soon as you start to dislike it.

TL;DR
