Lookism Rescheduled For December 8 Premiere on Netflix

By Ashley De MesaNovember 22, 2022

Great news for Lookism fans! The anime will now premiere on Netflix in December 8, 2022 after the delay! We won’t have to wait for too long.

Originally, Lookism was slated to premiere last November 4, 2022 on Netflix. However, Netflix announced last November 1, 2022 that it will be delayed. This is because of the stampede incident that have happened in Itaewon, a Seoul district in South Korea which resulted in over a hundred casualties. A period of national mourning was declared by President Yoon Suk-yeol in light of the tragedy, which occurred from October 31 to November 5, 2022. Various entertainment and media companies have cancelled their activities for the mourning period.

Lookism Synopsis

Park Hyung-suk has suffered from severe bullying in his life because of his overweight body and short stature. Particularly, his biggest bully was Lee Tae-sung. In order to escape from his bully, Park Hyung-suk aimed to transfer schools.

Something unexpected happened to Hyung-suk prior to his school transfer though. He woke up with a different and perfect body. He now has a handsome and flawless face; as well as a muscular body. What is even more bizarre is that his original chubby form is still present. He switches to that body once he falls asleep in his perfect body, and vice versa.

He wanted to find out about this strange circumstance. At the same time, he experiences what it feels like to be viewed as handsome or ugly by everyone.
