Thank you so much for sharing your feelings and thoughts... It's indeed heartbreaking to see that society gives different looks and treatments toward people who are less "pretty" than the others... No matter how many times they say that it's about personality nowadays, that preference of outer look will always be there.
We'll, I'm not good looking .. I have acne scars all over my cheeks, though I regularly wash my face, my skin stays dull. You know that age predictor thing on a camera? They always say that I'm a male and in his thirties or forties too... I'm still in high school but I weigh almost 80 kgs which means I'm obesed pretty much... Doing sports twice a week and having nothing for dinner don't seem to make any distinction...i swear if someone meets me they'll classify me as one of the ugly's. I can promise that. But since I'm also a fool, I immediately believe my mom that today's all about personality. I keep trying to be positive towards everything... I smile whenever I meet someone, somehow I got a view good people as friends... Still I'm having the same thoughts as you and it really scares me, I really does... Will I get a decent job with this look..? Will someone marry me..? Will people actually accept me? Sigh...I'll just keep believing what my mom says about personality since she's the only one who really accepts me hahaha. Personality for the win.
Although most Korean webtoons are dramatic as heck to the point that it doesn't even seem realistic anymore, I still feel like this story is sending out a strong message telling us to stop judging people just by looking at their appearance. Throughout reading this, I looked through the comments as well and I feel like no one is actually taking this comic seriously (but it's just a comic so no one would probably take it seriously anyways *sigh*). Ever since the first chapter, I completely understood how jaerim felt and I even cried because the truth hurts so much for me. I'm quite ugly and I've noticed ever since I was little that people treated me badly because of my looks. That's why I'm always worried about my future, if I'm able to get a job, find a husband, and raise my child well. I've been down lately, crying nearly every night in my bed, thinking about the same worries every single time.. and it's all because of my face. That's why I hate going out in public because I'm scared of people who would look at me and think, "Wow she's so fucking ugly lmao gross." I wish this world was only filled with people with eyes that are blind to appearance, so that the only thing that we are able to see is our personalities. But that's obviously impossible so I wish that we can all at least try to classify what's "pretty" with the way we act instead of the way we look.
ANYWAYS THIS MANHWA WAS REALLY GOOD I SHEDDED LOTS OF TEARS I CANT WAIT FOR THE AUTHOR'S NEXT WORK!!!!!!
