How it's used

It implies that the previous impression was negative or neutral, and the new experience has provided a more positive or enlightened outlook. It is frequently used when someone proves their worth or capability after being underestimated.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 改變, which is a general term for any kind of change. Use 改觀 specifically when referring to a shift in mental impression or subjective judgment about a person or situation.
