Synopsis

Lookism follows Park Hyung-seok, a social outcast who is constantly bullied for his appearance. However, his life changes drastically when he wakes up one day to find himself possessing two bodies: his original, overweight self and a perfect, handsome version. As he alternates between these two forms—using his perfect body to attend a different school by day and his original body by night—he begins to uncover the harsh realities of society and the deeply rooted corruption of the criminal underworld. The series explores the impact of lookism in a superficial world while delivering high-octane battles as Daniel Park fights to protect his friends and discover the truth behind his mysterious duality.
