Debt collector Nam Soon lost his sense of pain after a traumatic accident during his youth, and now regularly takes beatings for his job. Street vendor Dong Hyun suffers from severe hemophilia, a disorder that impedes the body's ability to stop bleeding. For Dong Hyun, even the most minor of injuries could be deadly. She's left homeless after Nam Soon collects the last of her money, so he decides to take her in. (Source: Wikipedia) Edit Translation

The story as older than world itself...
A man who doesn't feel anything and is not afraid of anything falls in love with a girl who feels everything too strongly and is afraid of everything... Both have a trauma, but the trauma is not that simple as it may seem when you read the plot.
First of all Nam-Soon (by the way, this is a girl's name and it's the name of the male lead in the movie, I'll explain why), a man who lost his family in an accident and blames himself for spilling the cola in the car and causing his parents and noona to die, after the accident he hasn't felt anything physically: no pain, no taste, no touch... empty being... but from the fist minutes I could see, that this man was not only frozen physically, but also emotionally. I sometimes thought he had been brought up by wolves, as he had no idea how to feel grateful, love, think about something else besides his empty everyday routine (which was not the most beautiful scene to watch, by the way...) but this is until he meets HER...She is his reflection, his perfect reflection, actually I think she's all the things he would like to be, but has never been able to... She's hemophiliac, so every little cut can be her last one... And suddenly he wants to feel, to taste, to touch... his opening up to her was so beautiful, I couldn't look away from the screen.
There lines at the end of the movie and you hear Nam-Soon praying to the God 'Dear God, I've never wanted to cry as I don't feel pain, but you know, when I see her crying my heart feels like bursting into thousands of pieces, please, make her not cry, even if I have to give my life for that'... These lines reflect her lines in the middle of the movie, when they lie near and she tells him 'When you want to cry next time, tell me, I'll cry for you'... Isn't this genius? They make each other complete and perfect... two broken souls come together as one...

I looked forward to watching PAIN because it paired Jung Ryeo-Won & Kwon Sang-Woo & neither actor disappointed me. Their performances were both powerful & believable. I've already recommended this film to my friends.

The story, acting & music were all solid 9s for me. I didn't give it a 10, but only for its rewatch value. Rewatching this movie would be like rewatching AUTUMN TALE: too emotionally draining and so sad.
