Synopsis
Lookism (2022), Season 1 is Netflix's Korean animated drama-comedy you can watch online on iFILM — eight episodes that follow a bullied teen given a second skin. Park Hyeong-seok wakes up able to switch between two bodies: the tall, handsome one and the heavy, awkward self he was born with.
Living as two people at once turns out to solve nothing. By day Hyeong-seok attends a new school as the good-looking version; by night he clocks in part-time as his real self and learns the cruelty just changes targets. He makes his first real friends here. He also makes an enemy in Basco, a tough kid who boils over the moment he spots the handsome stranger out with Hyeong-seok's mother. The back half pivots toward music, as Hyeong-seok and the rap-obsessed Deok-hwa work toward the school festival stage.
Adapted from Park Tae-jun's hit webtoon, the season tackles appearance, class and teenage cruelty without lecturing. It lands best with viewers who like school stories that ask what a "better" face is actually worth. Stream Lookism Season 1 online on iFILM.
