The Plot of Charles Ghoi kidnapping Gyeol Baek will be put on hold as we will be brought a flashback. The action series had been focusing on the fighting for a while now but we will now see buildups for what is to come. And for that building Vinjin’s past will be vital in Lookism Chapter 482.
Jinyoung Park had been a key figure in the story but since the recent incidents, he had been in the care of Eugene. The gang leader had been a caretaker and had a much softer side compared to others. Moreover, Eugene and James Lee are on a mission to save Les’s friend who had been taken hostage by Charles Goi.
The series, unlike many of its contemporaries in the industry, takes a good amount of time to develop the rest of the cast. And as such, there are times when we don’t get to see Daniel Park as much during those times. But, Daniel is a small fish in an ocean, a growing fish but not the center of the world.
Spoilers
Lookism Chapter 482 will show what Gapryong Kim, Cheoliang, and the other bosses will be doing to celebrate the King of Seoul’s death anniversary. The King was an integral part of the story for a very long time, and his death is shocking to all. He was a fan favorite too, but that didn’t stop the author from taking a difficult path.
The world of Lookism (or the universe, if you consider all other manhwas connected to it), is anything but safe. Though the series started as a comedy, a lot has changed since the genre shifted and turned into a masterpiece. It was a masterpiece even before the change as the themes made it interesting, but the gang war made it all surreal.
The coming chapters will be focusing on a new cast of characters and their place in the world. And how the things they do would affect the world, especially people who are close to Daniel Park, along with the new generation. Also, the coming chapters will have flashbacks as indicated by the last panel in the previous chapter, showing what went down to nurturing one of the members of the gang.
Recap
Lookism Chapter 481 started with James Lee handing out a flash drive that held the video of Gyeol Baek’s kidnapping. Eugene had come to take it as evidence against the man, working in tandem with the K-pop star. The two have decided to corroborate the sentence to take down Gyeol Baek while saving Eugene’s friend.
James Lee decided to play with his colleague by withholding the drive in exchange for some information out of him, making Eugene frown. The white-suit man wasn’t interested in the small talk and became a little suspicious of James Lee. Though Eugene was a little taken aback he decided to play along and see where it went since they had a mutual goal.
Eugene Park has lost every semblance of himself and is no longer the man he once was. The former antagonist would go into fits of panic attacks once there were a few keywords that were mentioned. This made James Lee uninterested in the man and brought the topic back to the rescue of Eugene’s friend Gyeol Baek.
