All about Red Swan: Plot, cast and the possibility of season 2
What is the story of Red Swan?
The action-packed romantic K-drama revolves around Oh Wan-soo, a successful businesswoman who is the wife of Kim Yong-guk — the heir of a South Korean chaebol named Hwain Group. She has an inheritance left by her late father-in-law, whose mysterious death has connections to a family secret.
Wan-soo is under threat from people inside the Hwain Group. She has a frosty relationship with her mother-in-law, the chairperson Park Mi-ran. On the other hand, Mi-ran relies on the crafty legal advisor Han Sang-il.
Amid this internal intrigue enters Seo Do-yoon, who becomes Wan-soo’s bodyguard. But Do-yoon has a hidden purpose — to unearth the mystery behind his friend’s death, which has ties to the company.
With the help of Do-yoon, Wan-soo tries to get to the bottom of the secret her family is trying to hide, including the truth about her brother-in-law, Kim Yong-min. And, in the process, Wan-soo and Do-yoon grow close.

How many episodes does Red Swan have?
Red Swan has 10 episodes. All episodes were released in a weekly system two at a time. The first episode premiered on 3 July and the finale episode on 31 July.
Will Red Swan have a season 2?
The final two episodes marking the ending of the K-drama do not indicate that the show will have a season 2.
For those who have seen the show, it is clear that the makers have not left any loose ends. It is unlike Squid Game, whose season 1 finale episode clearly dropped the hint that fans of the internationally acclaimed K-drama will see more of the deadly games.
Moreover, Red Swan was always marketed as a 10-episode web series on Disney Plus. In the world of K-drama, even though web series have the chance of getting a sequel like 2023’s smash hit Moving, it is the ending of a show that drops clearer hints of possible follow-ups. Red Swan offers no such scope.
Additionally, Red Swan falls more in the romantic action genre with dramatic tropes than something like a pure thriller K-drama or superhero series. This leaves little room for exploration of plot expansions or existing character sketches.
