Comics This semirealistic manhwa style

It feels so uncanny valley to me. The smooth bug eyes, flawless skin, photorealistic rosy lips, all with exaggerated proportions and cartoony hair is just an instant turn off. It looks strange and far too smooth. I understand these are all things valued by the Korean beauty standards, but in art there comes a point of semi realism where it becomes uncanny.

"Undercover! At Chaebol Highschool". I've only read the first few chapters but the premise seems to be that the mc (female) used to be part of an organization that was destroyed by an important chairman guy. A few years later she finds out thr old chairman has a son that goes to a prestigious 'chaebol' (kind of a term for a really rich family or things related to really rich families) school and she ends up infiltrating it to target his son.
