On September 25 KST, Netflix put out a trailer for its new webseries Lookism, which is based on a popular webtoon of the same name. Written by author Park Tae-joon, the series will include an OST sung by popular K-pop boy group ATEEZ.

The story is centered around the theme of school bullying and violence. The trailer follows the story of Park Hyung-seok, an overweight school outcast who is often bullied for his appearance.

One day he gains the ability to soul hop between his regular body and one that belongs to a slimmer, taller, and more attractive young man. The power has both advantages and disadvantages since Park Hyung-seok is tied to his own body and must return to it at night.

The adaptation is being done by studio MIR, who also previously animated DOTA : Dragon's Blood and The Witcher : Nightmare of the Wolf.

Lookism will be available for streaming on Netflix on November 4.
