For Seoul, I think this is an interesting observation:
Seoul is not a pretty city, at least not by most Western standards of beauty.
It is a sprawling, haphazard mix with little apparent cohesion beyond a shared culture.
Personally, I really liked it because it has a different vibe from a more "sterile" city like Tokyo.
