I wonder if the same people who hate this story also hate Waterside Night…
I like Low Tide in Twlight (Waterside Night), I hate Jinx. At least bro actually had something resembling a redemption. Jaekyung or whatever his name is didn’t even love Dan, lol. Did he even apologize? LTiT actually knew his wrongdoings, knew all he was doing was hurting him and ran away, and tried to stay far away from him, even telling his family or people he knew not to tell the guy where we was or what he was doing.
It’s okay if you didn’t like the story for whatever reason. I’m just trying to understand why, because it follows close parallels with Waterside Down, only with changes in pacing. Jaekyung did apologize to Kim Dan and also tried to stay away from him when he came to terms that he wasn’t good for him, despite finally realizing he loved him AND he also prevented Kim Dan from drowning himself(sound familiar?) I personally liked both stories, but I did like Waterside a bit more, despite that there was way more blatant rape/coercion(& murder) than in Jinx. I think people just didn’t like Jink because of Jaekyung’s unlikable personality and because his redemption arc wasn’t as long, which fair, who doesn’t like to see a man grovel on his knees. But Kim Dan's personality is also way different than Kim Euihyun‘s so even if Jaekyung did start groveling, it would have just make Kim Dan uncomfortable.
I don’t personally feel like Jaekyung felt bad for anything he did, he was just mad he lost Dan. That’s my primary reason for liking LTiT more, and his wasn’t his redemption maybe 10 episodes, it’s been a minute since I read it. I liked Taeju’s more just because you could see the regret, and even after getting Euihyun back, after the miscarriage he still didn’t think he deserved him and ran off. Continued to care for him financially but left him, he even knew where he would be, but disappeared for a whole month. And, he only came back because Haesong (Maybe his name?) called Taeju saying Euihyun was drunk, took him back to his place and continued to try to leave even after entering a rut whilst still with Euihyun who was more than willing to help him with it.
Though, I do agree that Dan would’ve been uncomfortable if Jaekyung did something similar, but that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t have only apologized. I just don’t feel Jaekyung even tried to redeem himself. I
Can someone please tell me when this story starts getting good/wholesome? Cuz I’ve tried to read it multiple times and can’t get past the first couple of chapters. I know I have to trust the process but I need to know how long it gonna take
Around chapter 40 is where it's starting to get better. For me the ,, change,, was sudden but the build up to the ,, wholesome,, stuff was quite long. The rape and shit like that is going to be rare after that so I would advise you to keep reading. It's rly cute after that c:
Thank you
The speed I’d be running to daddy Guwon, pointing at all the idiots that be trying me
Now where are those Su-ah stans thinking he was a greenflag? ┑(￣へ￣)┍
I’m working to be as emotionally healthy and communicative as Daejong
Reminds me of MADK
Omg loved MADK
OH EM GEE I just read that not long ago, INSANE read but sooo good
I’m seriously not understanding why people are siding with Juhyeok or Su-ah or calling for a redemption arc. They are both equally to blame for the situation they are in. Just because Su-ah has an adorable face, we forget that he was deliberately scenting Juhyeok without his consent and he can’t even use the excuse of not knowing what he was doing. Like how would he feel if someone did that to his dad? And despite Juhyeok being very clear that he does not want to be around him, he continued to break his boundaries just because his own selfish feelings. Juhyeok is no better. Though his feelings after finding out he was an omega are valid, him blaming it on Su-ah were not. And the fact that his feelings for Su-ah changed so quickly after finding out their secondary genders, likely indicates that he only liked the power dynamic of being the dominant protector(toxic masculinity). If he actually loved Su-ah he wouldn’t have cut him out of his life and he sure as hell would not be asking him to do all this shit now, knowing full well how much Su-ah likes him.
So true, they both can't handle their emotions well, it is all over the place~ so young and messy, i think we're getting a time skip ┐(´ー｀)┌
Something that still bothers me(besides this ending so abruptly), is why did Yeon il even have that picture with Mingyun while he was working if they weren’t really friends? Yeon il was probably around 20 years old at this point if he’s 7 years younger than Dam so it’s not like he just graduated unless I’m missing something. And if Dam wrote his name & number on that photo then why didn’t Yeon il call him sooner? Or maybe he did and Dam never answered? So how did Yeon il find out where Dam worked and it’s just a coincidence that his “not friend” Mingyun’s dad is the president of? Who loaned him that work suit when he didn’t go back home because he spent the night at Dam’s? And why did Yeon il laugh when Dam implied that he had been smoking since high school? Yeon il never said he had been smoking since high school, he just said that Mingyun was using him to get cigarettes, probably because Yeon il has been working at convenience stores since middle school. Idk maybe I’m reading too much into it but stuff just ain’t adding up (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
