You took the words out my mouth, yes, that was what i felt abt warehouse. Exactly. The art update, compelling narrative and the ambiguity in the two protagonists relationship. Oh sommore the sexual tension btw them were so intense.
The suspension in mid way, gosh, i was so depressed because i thought that it got canceled forever. But then, miraculously it came back with more revealing backstories.. my personal experience for following this manga was like riding roller coaster.
I know that something is broken here between sungho x dohyun, but i still pray they will get back together and live happily ever after
I think sadly they will never be happy. They’ve always had such an unhealthy relationship that rested on anxiety and power imbalance.
It’s really worth considering if Seungho can be forgiven for all that he’s done. Truly Dohyun emotionally manipulated him A LOT in their youth and that probably triggered something in Seungho as we know he’s a bit off. Seungho was seriously stressed and driven to suicide. That’s the scar he bears. You and I both feel that there has to be something that set Seungho off, but maybe this is just the result of his illness.
Its hard to say if one ( Dohyun) can come back from being abused by a partner, even family or friend. Even if they could, Seungho has to acknowledge what is wrong with him. He seems to be aware of what he’s done and why it was wrong, so just who is the Seungho who held this grudge for 9 years and did those horrendous things to Dohyun? Has Seungho confronted him?
They’ve both hurt each other enough for two lifetimes and sadly they don’t know how to fix themselves or work towards something healthy together. Its no question that they love each other, desire each other etc but love alone doesn’t make a relationship. I like that we dont have the answers because sometimes in life we’re not always blessed with the tools or environment to reach for better. Seungho and Dohyun live in this kind of hell, its like theyre cursed to hurt each other as much as they “love” each other.
Now that this is coming to an end, I just have to say that this is one of the best dark webtoons, if not THE best webtoon among its cohorts. Warehouse was able to accomplish what a lot of novels fail at let alone BL webtoons; engaging narrative and depth of character. Warehouse broaches a lot of dark subject matter and effectively takes us into the psyche of its characters. We are able to feel the distress and anxiety littering each page and maybe this is subjective but that type of reading is so striking. I won’t even talk about the art. The expressions drawn alone have greater emotional complexity than most novels.
Seungho and Dohyun was both incredibly complex characters and I loved how the multiple layers of their story unraveled before us. We’ll still yet to come to the end. For those who were not with this webtoon from the beginning, its hard to understand how great it feels to have it come to an end. There was a time when it was unclear if Killer Whale would ever come back. But they crawled back and up to the top. This webtoon doesn’t get a lot of attention or accolades, which I understand because its not easily digestible, but from a technical standpoint it deserves top recognition. I hope Killer Whale pair up again and I will gladly wait as many years as possible because they are just that talented.
