Appearanceism is the mindset that regards appearance as the most important thing to live or succeed in life. Most of the time, however, it is true that we all have this kind of mentality.
The comments in celebrity articles, often the most popular occupation for the public, make up a lot of praise for their looks or disparage their looks. It is easy to benefit from any part of your daily life if you have a pretty and nice appearance.
There are many people who look the same in Gangnam," he said, disparagingly of cosmetic-looking and handsome men, but the reality is that there are many people who are constantly envious of their appearance with such a sharp nose, big eyes and slim jaws
Since when have we come to live in a world so obsessed with appearance?
Who set the standard for taste?
"Mask Girl" is a film that ended its streak with a season three, a thriller genre that was serialized with material not often covered by webtoons and age limits of 18.
The movie, which gained popularity with its solid storyline, is one of the works that I've always been waiting for at the time of the series with its unstoppable charm.
The main character of this movie is Mommy, who is very nice in social standards but is always ignored because of his appearance.
Mommy, who is always ignored because of her appearance, was actually her dream, but she has failed to fulfill her dream due to her ugly appearance and lives as an ordinary office worker.
Instead, Momy has a double life of doing Internet broadcasting under the name of "Mask Girl," not her office worker, who used to feel happy watching the reactions of people who praised her appearance while showing off their biggest strengths.
Obsession with appearance looks complex, company boss, is in love with 'head of the bakkiun'. The momi Momi, who had an unrequited love for him despite being a married man with everything from good looks to a gentle manner, eventually finds out that he was having an affair with "Beautiful," another young and pretty female employee in the same department.
And secretly Pak, about the company to the fact of the affair is momi The rumor spread throughout the company.
MOMMY, who returned to the company after drinking heavily, showed pathological behavior, taking her unconscious to a motel and taking pictures of her sleeping body, which she has been betrayed by Park once again, and is gradually acting strangely.
On the other hand, Zuo Nam, who is in the same department but is famous for his lack of presence, tries to approach Mom by showing her kindness from one day on. The reason why he informed Mom of Park's affair is also Joo Oh-nam, who knows that Momi is the same person as the mask girl by chance.
Since she found out that she was a mask girl, Zu Oh-nam has often threatened Mom with a fixation on her life, which has a decisive effect on her falling into the abyss and facing crisis.
If you look at the work "Mask Girl" as a whole, Season 1 shows Mom being compared to a pretty woman mainly because of her appearance complexities and ugly looks, and how society is mired in appearanceism.
And it depicts how obsessed a figure named Momi is with her appearance, why she was forced to do so, and a big incident in which she gains sympathy and later changes in her life.
Season 2 depicts a mother who was reborn as a pretty woman through her dream form. Desperate to live a completely new life, she dreams of being married in a new way, changing her name to "Yumi," but once again she goes out of her past and out of what is commonly called a normal life and goes out of the way of her envious and hated name "Beauty."
And in the new bar under the name of "beauty," you meet a character named "Lara" who looks just like you. She is also a woman who has been discriminated against and hurt by her ugly looks in the past, but she is also a woman who has never been out of the past and is used by her boyfriend.
The final three seasons are when Momy's daughter "Mimo" and Momy's mother "New Movie" appear as new faces, including how she tries to save her daughter, who is in danger because of her, and why she has lived off her mother's neck.
Through the story of an ordinary woman's life falling into the abyss, the story melts various social issues such as appearanceism and stalker and Malca in our society, reckless leakage of personal information through SNS, entertainment sponsors, child abuse and religious contradictions, and provides something to think about in many ways. Also, through the main character Momi and her surrounding characters, you get to think more broadly about what is good and what is evil, and the more you read it, the more you fall in love with it.
"Maskgirl" deals with a rather dark story, but with a deep and solid story that builds consensus, I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a well-made webtoon piece like a movie on one side.
