Summary of Lookism

Park Hyung Suk has spent the 17 years of his life at the bottom of the food chain. Short, overweight and unattractive, he is used to being bullied and constantly discriminated against by his classmates because of his looks. In an attempt to escape from her biggest stalker, Lee Tae Sung, she decides to transfer to Seoul's Jae Won High School, a vocational high school known for its liberal education system and carefree students. Days before his move, Hyung Suk wakes up to find that he no longer has his usual chubby body, but a perfect body! Tall, handsome and beautifully toned, Hyung Suk has become the ideal version of himself. The only problem is that his original body is still by his side, and when one body falls asleep, he wakes up in the other. Hyung Suk, who now has two completely different bodies, must learn to navigate his new and much more popular life at J High School while solving the mystery of where his second, almost superhuman body came from.
