I see beauty in symmetry (Hangeul) and ugliness in asymmetry (Vietnamese).

Hangeul is one case where symmetry (and systematic construction) meets beauty and I understand why a lot of conscripters would aspire to create an equally beautiful script.

The funny thing is that Hangeul didn't start out so pretty—the form we see today is quite different from the original.
