Lookism is a very interesting series, written by an author who does not know when to quit for his own good! (the hallmark quality of a good author)

Ugly and fat daniel park is bullied relentlessly, and although his single widow mother is poor, after witnessing the truth of how he was treated at school, decide to grant him his wish to transfer schools.

Daniel moves to seoul, and one morning he wakes up in a muscular and good looking body, while his old body sleeps, the other one is awake.

The main theme of Lookism is vanity, and also lookism itself, defined as the discriminatory treatment of people based on looks. everyone is to some extent aware that this is true, we do treat good looking people better, and ugly people worse. It is human nature, although taboo to talk about. Adult people will go to great lengths in order to tip-toe around the subject. Most people would refrain from writing a series about such a sensitive issue, purely out of self-preservation instinct. That's what makes this author so admirable, he clearly has no shame in his body, the fact that he's known for his good looks makes it even more shameless, i love it!

The story itself i guess is not very original, it's the unique and uncomfortable spin on it that makes it feel fresh. The characters are very memorable and enjoyable. The art is good enough.

I will admit that it starts feeling less engaging after chapter 250 something, but still good.
