My problem with lookism is that it has evolved extremly far awy from it original premise. While I enjoy some Arcs like the first Hostel arc. Which I think had some of the best fights in the series (Like Vasco vs Vin JIn). It hurst especially the cast as we loose focus of our main characters. Even the Mc is getting less and less scream time for other characters (who I do like), but I just miss some of the more normal stuff. Or some great characters like Crystal, Duke and the mother. We have not seen them in literal 100s of chapters. Characters that were ever realy imporant for the main story or for the main cast. The humor is as well much less present, which just sad. Especially the scenes with Vasco who is always making me cracking. And one of worst evolutions in the series is in my opnion the art. While the art style became MUCH better compared to the first chapters. I noticed that the author reuses a lot of still imagies that the already had drawn. It feels kinda lazy and cheated. And that includes the battle progressions. They beat each other almost to death and break every imaginable bone in their boes. But on the next panel they could like freshly out of the shower.
I will keep and keep on saying this but the deviation from the original concept of societies beauty strangers n’ stuff was overall healthy for the series personally because I believe if it continued with an 4 chapter arc about exposing bad things in society and moving onto to the next bad thing would have gotten boring and repetitive and wouldn’t have been very interesting entertainment wise like I know there’s different genres but I’m mainly looking at the repetitive nature and for the characters like duke and daniel’s mother they are side characters every type of media can’t focus on multiple characters at once especially ones that contrast with each other like imagine getting a badass fight scene from Jake Kim and then all of a sudden next chapter your now focusing on duke progressing his rap career in PTJ like bruh for the story to go back to how it was in the beginning the gang situation (4 major crews) needs to be resolved first before even thinking of going back to that Or I could just be extremely biased cause badass fights scenes and learning about martial arts is my taste
@@zerovking7629 There is some truth. But the fact that characters like Zoe and Chrystal were left hanging, who are important for the plot, is just sad in my opinion. The author uses to much time on side characters (like some big deal side characters) who I have no idea who they are. And while I enjoy some gang arcs. I just think it would be much too the benefect if between the arcs we could slow down and return a bit to the normal stuff. That would not hurt the pacing at all and this something that I think would a lot of readers enjoy.
Bro in order to know the secret of daniel body, he need to destroy 4 men crew and now only the workers left. Thats why there's many side characters arc and the reason zoe and crystal didnt appeara ymore because this arc focusing on fighting which most female in lookism can't do. After 4 man crew destroyed we will back to school lifeand prolly enter the new 10 geniuses arc and then the last arc. You need to read carefully so you understand
@@rottenfished9040 I didnt really get bored the more I read but I can agreee that the ending was shitty no it was straight up dogshit like ik too many people died but wtf man? I didnt even get the satisfaction I wanted tho I am glad that its getting the sidestories and the anime adaptation I really hope the anime does justice to the story cuz I thought it was really good but for the love of god please change the daam ending.
@@BLACKSTA361 you mean Big Deal backstory? That is not an arc that is just a set up for workers arc in the future to kinda get the backstory and how it all connected in the future
Lookism manhwa is an incredibly powerful and captivating story that speaks to the issues of society and the desperate situations of those who feel marginalized by it. The switch in genre has allowed for further exploration of the Korean society and how people of unfortunate circumstances, such as Jiho Park, can end up like criminals as a result of bullying and insecurity. Park was constantly bullied and felt jealous of his friends, leading him to a life of crime. Eli Jang is another victim of the Korean society, who was born abandoned by his parents and had to resort to committing crimes in order to make ends meet. Jake Kim, a gangster mob boss, was also forced to make illegal money in order to survive and take care of his family. The lookism manhwa has drastically levelled up with the switch in genre, allowing it to explore social issues in greater depth and provide insight into the lives of those who are desperate and marginalized by society. It explores the psychological and emotional struggles faced by those who suffer from bullying, feel powerless and neglected, or are forced to resort to crime in order to survive. The story also shows how these experiences can shape a person's life and how even the most desperate and powerless individuals can rise up and take control of their life. The lookism manhwa has been praised for its ability to realistically portray the struggles of everyday people, rather than relying on stereotypes and simplifying complex social issues. It provides a vivid and powerful look into the lives of those who suffer from hardship, poverty, and oppression, and shows how even the most desperate and powerless individuals can find strength and hope amidst the darkness. Through its exploration of social issues, the lookism manhwa offers an insightful and powerful look into the lives of those who feel marginalized and neglected by society, allowing readers to gain an understanding of their stories and struggles. I applaud Taejun Pak and his studio for making this masterpiece.
It's really surprising how Lookism is so underrated . It truly is a hidden gem with all the amazing characters and their back stories . If people would actually get a chance to read it would've been really popular
All of Taejun Pak's manhwa are very good and worth reading, plus they are all connected, with little hints to the other manhwa sprinkled EVERYWHERE in each one.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who really enjoyed the 3rd affiliate arc. It was just so fun and seeing the interactions between new and old characters alike was just 👌👌 I guess it also helps that it takes place freshly after the jake kim flashback since Jake was kinda one of the main focus of this arc Also I recommend crediting the editors whose edits you used in the background, ty ❤️
Honestly the only reason I’m gonna get involved in the lookism webtoon is because I watched the anime on Netflix, and this is my reminder not to drop it because it’s boring if it ever gets to that point.
3:20 True The expression and artstyle was amazing. AND when i read it,I NEVER FEEL EMOTIONAL ABOUT ANYTHING, but lookism acyually got me cause it felt realistic. I only got emptional 1 abt the school pary near the start/near mid
Tbh i really dont like the early chapter of lookism because it seems like a typical school bully manhwa but i really started to keep reading because of vasco 😂😂 that dude literally op and dumb at the same time and most of the character also has its own interesting and sad story that makes me keep me reading more especially the ollie wang tragic story and inu happy ending
About the ost for every chapter thing But few days ago i found out that kubo the creator of bleach did this for his characters in the early chapter. And thay fit so well with the characters. Mangaka or comic artist should do this more often.
Ok But The Part Where You Were Going On Abt How You Were Binging It Until 5 AM Is SO True Bc It's Only Been Like 2(?) Weeks Since I Picked Up Lookism Again From Ch.20 Something & Now I Just Got To Ch.400 Last Night Lmao
@@AruReviews if u want to make some money in your free time while making some lookism videos in the same style as this one, i am also currently hiring part time editors! only if you are interested of course. looking forward to your next work
olly wang has one of the most amazing character development and i think that whole arc is amazing but for me ViVi Club gived more than a good story, i was seriously reading it whith my mouth opened LOL but i get where you are coming from, olly wang have an amazing arc too
Lookisms start is meh, it was bad, because not only the art but there was a little bit of fight and more romance.. Well, until god dog where everything was gangster, fighting, drugs lol
i prefer the first hostel arc where they faced off olly wang it was like watching PTJ'S version of the avengers, fast ans furious or heck even any other big multi star movie, or in indian terms like this one movie called vikram
0:42 “The Love Doctor” on the right down corner is actually a very iconic and good GL|Yuri|Manhwa! I recommend it to anyone that’s interested on that genre or wants to start with something good 👍
I stopped reading it in chapter 406 cuz i dont like waiting each week for a single chapter...so i need to pick it up first. And then i may write a post on it, and thank you for the engagement 👊
Spoilers ahead: I’m sorry if I fell rushed.. But I don’t like how after I’ve read 130 chapters the mc is still scared and wimpy of everyone who grows a punch at him in which he wants to change but he hasn’t made any effort doing so doesn’t try to lose weight cause he gains it straight back with junk food. And he always runs away from the issues and avoids watching his friends being beaten knowing he can do something. When dukes ear was pierced in front of him he just watched and did nothing. So why should I feel indulged to watch a series where the mc says he will change but even after 100 chapters nothing has changed?
I also thought Lookism was mediocre until I go to the part with all the gang shit, Also totally hated Gun and Goo looks but now I love these characters.
I really wanna enjoy this video but the levels on the audio makes it hard to hear what your saying. It is like the music and your voice is on the same level.
just catched up to it, really...reaaaally boring stuff, its getting so repetitive, nothing new anymore, they train, they become stronger, they fight,repeat...there is no creativity in the story anymore...i dropped it at 428
I was reading lookism, was around 130 ch it is just so boring right now ,they like dedicate every ch how Zach love Mira,I get that maybe Zach loved her from childhood but if it is true then why the heck is he still violent when it's convenient for the plot . Should I maybe skip some ch and continue?

I'm so happy to see literally anyone speaking on this and this video is also so well made this arc is mind-blowing especially the way it ends
I'm glad you enjoyed it
Hell yeah someone is finally talking about this. Like I love solo leveling but personally I feel this is better and should get just as much attention.
I agree lookism rivals solo leveling
Lookism is much better for me
Solo level is that good? I dropped it but if u say it's on lookism level I might give it another try

Thank youu for the supporting words 💙

Does the jake Kim arc count as worker arc

Lookism is my favorite manhwa and seeing this made my day!! pls make more video like these!!
seeing this comment made my day too, more reviews coming soon :)
Netflix has now recognized Lookism's glory. The anime is happening now bois
We need more videos about looksim and the legendary characters
More reviews coming :)
Park taejun is a legend whose stories are incredible .....which ever story he touches becomes a masterpiece
Read viral hit and my life as a loser ....
anything thats PTJ is a banger my child
Can't lie Jake Kim is such a good character
I learned about Lookism because of How to Fight, i think is time to give it a try
All of Taejun Pak's manhwa are very good and worth reading, plus they are all connected, with little hints to the other manhwa sprinkled EVERYWHERE in each one.
me too omg
8:29 truw.
I love how everyone had a backstory.
It made us symathise the characters although not justify it lol
Lookism is gonna get so much better cuz the world building and all the pieces are in the right place for something big
I love hostel arc the best it makes me cry multiple times
I'm glad I'm not the only one who really enjoyed the 3rd affiliate arc. It was just so fun and seeing the interactions between new and old characters alike was just 👌👌
I guess it also helps that it takes place freshly after the jake kim flashback since Jake was kinda one of the main focus of this arc

Jake Kim arc>>>>
it was like watching some rush hour like movie except its all drugs, clubs and business
and then we have euntae lee/vasco
Dude the fucking hostel arc was fire
Lmao the destop background is wide gun and goo
Finally someone noticed it lol
I fell in love with Lookism and it’s plot in the first 2 chapters and it has only gotten better from then
Crazy part is how the slice of life to a gangsta story actually makes since and happens smoothly before you even notice
THANKS BUD !! WHat a great video too, you re not joking anymore, you are in very high level, you should know that
₩500 is actually like less than 50 cents-
So Euntae or Vasco, broke into the club for less than 50 cents
Can confirm, it did lead me to less sleep for a day or two but incredibly cool and worth it
I dpnt even know which arc I like better-
All are so interesting
The arc coming up is gonna be the best in the series
Reading lookism with phonk is just a whole different experience makes reading it much better
Happy birthday Noureddine 🥳
Thank youu ❤❤
Lookism has earned its place in my top 3 comics
The story just keeps getting better and better
I would love for Lookism to be animated. Great video.
3:02 true-
Bullying/school life -> Gangasta & forgot lol
ITS GETTING A ANIME🎉🎉
This manhwa is so good
LOOKISM anime announced by NETFLIX !!!

SMASH THE DOOR
nice to see someone talking about lookism
Me: I like lookism for the plot
The plot: *Samuel Seo*
I totally agree
zoe best girl no cap
Honestly the only reason I’m gonna get involved in the lookism webtoon is because I watched the anime on Netflix, and this is my reminder not to drop it because it’s boring if it ever gets to that point.
your videos are the best mixt between fun and seriusness
The whole hostel arc was fucking incredible imo, I dont like it but i sympathised with olly wang so fucking much
3:20
True
The expression and artstyle was amazing.
AND when i read it,I NEVER FEEL EMOTIONAL ABOUT ANYTHING,
but lookism acyually got me cause it felt realistic.
I only got emptional 1 abt the school pary near the start/near mid
How do you not have thousands of subs? Amazing quality and effort put into the video. Instant sub 👏

I thought gun was like 20 but he 16 or 15 lol.
Gang leader and strong at 15 .
About the ost for every chapter thing
But few days ago i found out that kubo the creator of bleach did this for his characters in the early chapter.
And thay fit so well with the characters.
Mangaka or comic artist should do this more often.
Lookism is just getting better and better there's no other way
thanks for the video man, really respect any looksim content on yt

I absolutely love lookism❤️
People just like solo leveling but in my opinion lookism better
I love lookism
Me too XD
I also discovered PTJ universe in lookism.

maybe not a movie, but you're close... 😉

This is great ❤️🔥
Read windbreaker is so good like lookism.
I need me a TH-cam video or someone explaining/ recapping what happened from the start of the story until chapter 232
Personnaly the olly wong arc is way better
olly wang has one of the most amazing character development and i think that whole arc is amazing but for me ViVi Club gived more than a good story, i was seriously reading it whith my mouth opened LOL but i get where you are coming from, olly wang have an amazing arc too
Personally, i think prison arc is the best one
Lookisms start is meh, it was bad, because not only the art but there was a little bit of fight and more romance.. Well, until god dog where everything was gangster, fighting, drugs lol
Also, belated Happy Birthday to your friend.

It a very great arc and manhwa. The issue with the lookism is that there are alot of reuse panel shots.
your channel is so underrated
This guy is toooooo underrated
I like the video..keep going
Lookism is nice but it's no longer sbout school life and we never even get to see Daniel fight its always just his friends
Don't wanna spoil but during the climax of the arc where we see Daniel park's 2nd body (if ya know, you know) was so hype
0:42 “The Love Doctor” on the right down corner is actually a very iconic and good GL|Yuri|Manhwa! I recommend it to anyone that’s interested on that genre or wants to start with something good 👍
Aaaaamazing Video!!!!!
"every charactor has a back story" tf is this one piece v2
Excellent video dude
Finally more people who appreciate gintama
🖤🖤🖤 best manhuwa for me
The story was amazing in the beginning, I wish we focus on him a little more.
I hope u do a reaction on the chapters 380 429

Around 90 If I recall
jojo? well time to read
Jaketism and Johanism and Elinism HAHAHAHHA

Yah im still learning my friend, i ll keep this in mind in my future videos
0:30 what’s the second manga in s tier?
What do you think about the hunt for big deal ?
just catched up to it, really...reaaaally boring stuff, its getting so repetitive, nothing new anymore, they train, they become stronger, they fight,repeat...there is no creativity in the story anymore...i dropped it at 428
What is that curse of warlocks? I couldn't find out about it anything
I was reading lookism, was around 130 ch it is just so boring right now ,they like dedicate every ch how Zach love Mira,I get that maybe Zach loved her from childhood but if it is true then why the heck is he still violent when it's convenient for the plot . Should I maybe skip some ch and continue?
if you find it boring just skip to this arc
Keep going 🖤🔥
Thank youuu
It's a masterpiece.
My absolute favorite arc in manhwa is Seongjun arc in Viral hit. Second place is Yu vs J in The Boxer
Lookism gets toooo good
Wait where can you watch 373-386 is it out?
