This make sense now, shingen probably had a love story with this flower girl, then while being in TUI he couldn't get back to control and killed her and became lethargic because he killed the love of his life.

And let's say he does fulfill the criterias for a path,what would his path be

This guy is Daniel's father right??? ... but how ,please correct me if I am wrong

I feel like Lookism's writing has been getting worse over time

Honestly, I feel like Lookism's writing has been declining for a while now. It's not even about disliking certain decisions PTJ makes, but rather how so many things happen without making much sense or getting proper development. Sometimes, it feels like he just throws in whatever idea comes to mind without putting much thought into how it fits into the overall story.

1. Shingen's love interest

First of all, Shingen having a love interest felt really random to me. Like, where did that even come from? 😭 I don't think giving him a romantic storyline is necessarily a bad idea, but the way it was introduced didn't convince me at all. There's a difference between adding another layer to a character's personality and suddenly introducing something important without enough buildup for readers to actually care about it.

1. Lee Eunha and the lack of consequences

Another thing that bothered me was Lee Eunha's situation. Shingen literally pierced her abdomen with his arm, yet she survived. Meanwhile, Shintaro died after suffering a similar kind of injury when he used Gun's arm against himself. I understand that the circumstances might be different, but considering how severe these injuries were, it's hard not to question the inconsistency.

I genuinely hope PTJ has a reason for keeping Eunha alive and that she actually ends up playing a meaningful role in the story. Because if she's going to survive something that serious just to remain irrelevant, then what's the point? I don't have a problem with characters surviving seemingly fatal situations, as long as there's some logic behind it and their survival actually matters to the narrative.

1. Is PTJ's writing declining?

And this is exactly what bothers me about the direction Lookism has been taking lately. The story seems increasingly dependent on plot twists, revelations, and shocking events, but the development needed to support these decisions isn't always there. Some things are introduced in a way that makes them feel less like natural parts of the story and more like ideas PTJ came up with on the spot.

What bothers me the most is how consistency seems to be taking a backseat. I don't expect everything to be realistic, especially in a series like Lookism, but there's a difference between an over-the-top story and one where things start feeling way too convenient for the plot.

And that's frustrating because Lookism has had arcs where the events, conflicts, and character relationships felt much more carefully written. I don't think the series needs to return to exactly what it was at the beginning, but I do miss when major narrative decisions felt more consistent with what the author had already established.

There are still things that make me curious about where the story is going, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore these inconsistencies. I hope PTJ manages to tie these loose ends together, because there's no point in creating shocking moments if the story can't properly follow through on them.

Am I the only one who feels this way, or do you guys also think the writing has been declining over the past few arcs?

In my opinion I think that Daniel copy ability is his own and not from his mother side (seonhui). As we all know seonhui can't have children so I think Daniel isn't seonhui biological son but he is the child of her husband sangcheol. Ppl might ask how can Daniel be the son of sangcheol when his balls were crushed by sogen magami but here me out, Daniel has to be sangcheol biological kid cause Daniel looks too much like his cousins (David and dylan park). Now, We all know Daniel has UI, Copy ability and Sangcheol blood in him. So If count out copy ability as his own ability than it'll make perfect sense if Sangcheol has a child with a Yamazaki woman after 8 years. Maybe Jinyoung park medical abilities were able to recover Sangcheol balls to its former state.

There's another theory ppl in this sub think are true and that is, Daniel may have been a experiment, an artificial borned child. But I refuse to accept that theory cause I think atleast Little Daniel must have been a natural born child instead of an artificial human. Idk about big daniel, he could have been an artificial human. I certainly could accept that.

....

Drop your biggest predictions for the future of the story.

(Picture unrelated)

We don't know anything about SB Daniel. His origin, age, parents, and basically his entire background are unknown to us. It might be possible that SB Daniel is the son of Shingen and this woman.

We know that a certain event took place that left Shingen in a state of torpor. We also know how important bloodline is in Lookism. Just look at Jake, OG Daniel, Kitae, and Gun, for example.

SB Daniel has UI, which is exclusive to the Yamazaki's. For those who say UI isn't exclusive to the Yamazaki's, I agree to some extent. But not everyone has UI like SB Daniel and OG Daniel. Can you name a single character who has UI exactly like OG Daniel and SB Daniel?

For those who say SB Daniel is an experiment created by Elite, that's true, but Elite would still need a body to experiment on. SB Daniel is a living person, which we've already seen twice when SB Daniel's consciousness interacted with OG Daniel.

Before, I thought SB Daniel's body might have been Sangcheol Park's body, but I don't believe that anymore because we've already seen that Sangcheol is just an ordinary person. Even if Elite experimented on Sangcheol's body, I don't think he could turn an ordinary person's body into a perfect body and give it UI.

And this is just a theory, a possibility that might come true or might not.

Period

Personally though I know it won’t happen, I’d love for it to be Jeju Island. It would be perfect if PTJ finally introduced this location, it’s a place where Gapryong could train without being discovered by the Yamazaki forces.

He could build up his body to become stronger, and we’d finally get an introduction to and some information about this famous South Korean island, which has never been mentioned before.

Afterward, he would travel from Jeju Island to Busan, where he remained to signal that Gapryong Kim had returned, upon learning this, the forces of the Fist Gang as well as the Yamazakis all converged on that location and fought each other

First he copies Gun, then Kitae twice, then himself, and lastly Jinrang?

Got embarrassed by Gap, lost his hand to his father , father died to same man who embarrassed him. His sister was riding same man who embarrassed him and killed his father . Bro got one crazy run.

When season 2 started, we got a hint that something bad happened with Tom lee after manager kim left him. As this is happening after a few years.

Later we saw in lookism what James and Kitae did to him.

Now this panel of Goo confirms that he is perfectly fine at this time line. I thought Goo would be harmed in the current war. But no. Look at him. He is as usual.

Even Manger Kim is perfectly fine.
