This is my first time writing a review so I'll try my best.
First thing to say: "Warehouse" is not for everyone. There's a huge trigger warning on this manwha and the most accurate thing I can say is please expect something similar to "Killing, Stalking" if you have read that one already. It's tough and raw.
Using a couple of words to describe the plot and the topics around: obsession. rape. hate. resentment. denial. kidnapping. violence. madness. love?
The plot moves around two guys who met in school and start a secret romance, but things end up really bad and they don't see again for like 8 ... years, till THAT fateful day when everything mess up. There's an obsession remaning in the bottom of their hearts but it's worse for one of them.
From my personal view, due the impression that I got from the first chapters, I started to expect something like "Killing, Stalking", a story where everything ends up really bad for everyone. Death, betrayals and lots of blood. And even though some of them managed to accomplish, not the same story for the rest. It's very hard to emphatize with the characters due this is not a story to feel pity or attachment or even sorrow. You can't emphatize with a psycho kidnapper nor the kidnaped character who messed up someone in the past till the edge of madness. You just can't. I consider that the first half of this manhwa would have been GREAT as a pure psychological horror serie, but not as much as a BL, because you can't feel the love and you can't feel like things will be good at the end, even if the author gives you that at the end of the story, you can't fully digest the end that was given because It's not what you felt it was going to happen due of all the events that occurred.
The end is a stockholm syndrome with no hope around for anyone. There's no love to truly believe and a very bittersweet happy ending.
