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.

Seoul is such a huge place with tons of different areas that each could be a city by itself.

Edit:

I just checked the (sadly paywalled) beginning of the article and the author also says:
