Hey guys! Webtoon Series No. 6!  Today, I’ll be talking about Lookism.

Lookism is about a boy named Park Daniel, who gets bullied at school for being… obese… Daniel then moves to another high school and lives alone.  One day, he wakes up to find out that he now has two bodies.  His original one, and a new one, which is tall, handsome, fit, and strong, and everyone likes him.  But he can only use one body at a time, so if one if sleeping the other is awake.

Daniel goes to school with his new body and makes new friends, like Zack, a former boxer; Vasco, a childish, but also strong person who also protects the weak kids; Jay, a super rich mute boy, who Daniel can somehow understand, and who might have a crush on Daniel (well, he does anything for him and even adopted his dog’s puppies even though he’s afraid of dogs); and many other people.  While in his new body, Daniel becomes famous and popular as a model, “Pacebook” star, and a former trainee of PTJ Entertainment (he dropped out).  There is also a lot of violence in the book, but it’s really interesting.

Throughout the story, Daniel meets people who have been judged for their looks because they are obese, look weak, or are “ugly”.  Daniel learns that a lot of people gets judged based on their looks and befriends some bullied kids and helps them.  For example, one of his friends, who’s name is Duke, wants to be a rapper, so Daniel helps get him into PTJ Entertainment so he can become an idol.

I think Lookism is a really good book because it teaches people that you shouldn’t judge others by their looks.  I highly recommend this to anyone who is interested.

Well, that’s all for now!  Bye!
