Hold Me Safe/Holding room

Complete | Mocho | 2019 released

If it wasn’t for some inconsistencies in the whole thriller part of the plot, I probably would’ve rated this manhwa higher, since the dynamics between the two MCs were just SO GOOD AND AMUSING. Kang Heon and Duwon the reporter were obviously just devices to mislead us, since whenever the barman appeared he had this very creepy aura around him that made his culpability pretty obvious. Even the MCs suspected him a couple of times but ignored their right assumptions thinking they were only being paranoid. Moreover I was expecting some surprising plot twist regarding the reason that had led the culprit to the whole stalking, threading and kidnapping matter but he ended up saying he had done all that “just because”, which gave the character and all the plot created around him too much inconsistency. I also would’ve liked to read more about Kang Heon and Duwon (I would have welcomed with my arms open the development of a love story between them...). The MCs characterisation kinda filled up for the rest: Taekyung is the the speciman of the perfect boyfriend (protective, confident, decisive, HOT!!!), while Jaehwa is the one of the most relatable, salty and badass uke I’ve read about so far. At first I thought he would have been the slutty kind of uke but he ended up being everything but that!! His tsundere personality won my heart over in a minute, and can we please talk about drunk Jaehwa? Or when he’s teased by Taekyung? So cute

it’s not a full five stars one since there were too many elements thrown and left undeveloped, like both MCs’ family circumstances and side couples’ development and the motifs of the blue haired guy from the other boyband who had a grudge against hyunho and daho(?). there was a point in which the main couple started being too repetitive, so we needed something more to keep the attention higher. the first season was way more amazing and I’d like to see more about hyunho and daho(?).
