  When it come to movies I like to take my chances with movies I never heard of before. Sometimes the payoff is good and you'll find a good movie like Pained. Pained is about Nam-soon who feels no pain after loosing his family, until he meets Dong-hyeon. As the two grow closer, Nam-soon suddenly begins to lose his lifelong insensitivity to pain and the hurt of a lifetime washes over him. Now I will admit the story isn't always focus and doesn't come out believable, but it doesn't set out to be realistic. Instead, its main focus is on telling a good and dark romance story which works. Now with a character who feels no pain for most of the movie, it's hard to get behind Nam-soon in some of his more emotional scenes, but thank goodness he's likable and dynamic character we get to know well. It's a dark and original romance story that's unlike most of the happy romance that we're use to seeing. Now with a dark romance story there's not really a whole much to talk about. There really isn't a huge cast as we mostly see the same three actors which works well for the movie as we don't get stuck with too many characters like other romance movies and any cliches. It had some moments of comic relief, though often times it feels out of place are welcome to relief some tension. Now I won't say anything about how it ends, but I will say it was very nerve racking for me and left a strong feeling on me. If you're in the mood for a dark and original romance with a good story and likable on screen couple go and watched Pained. It's truly a romance story unlike anything you're use to seeing.
