In Japanese we have 親切そう、 and 優しそう and people often translate it as looks like.
This is a mistake as we should have looks like + noun.
For example:
○ He is handsome, he looks like Brad Pitt!
○ My horse drawing looks like a dog.
○ I look like my father.
○ It looks like rain. (The clouds are dark, and I think it will rain soon.)
When we use looks we must use looks + adjective.
For example:
○ Brad Pitt looks handsome.
○ Your drawing looks terrible.
○ My Father looks angry.
○ It looks cold outside.
○ Martin looks kind.
Fun, can be a noun or an adjective so we can say;
○ That looks like fun. (Noun)
○ That looks fun. (Adjective)
These patterns are very common and we also say the same for other senses.
