It' has some brief moments of excessive, disturbing violence, but if you can get past it there are some very powerful performances especially by the two main leads.

Some lovely twists and tantalizingly brief but beautiful intimacy, against the harsh backdrop of a crazy family drama, mystery and intrigue.

I could do without the insane sputtering of the magnate mother-in-law, but the series is so good I was able to put up with that no problem:

There are some very powerful moments as the story unfolds and some gorgeous emotional rewards in between the mystery solving and family drama. I do recommend this series, even if you have to forward your way through some drawn out fight scenes, explosions and the like at times.

I typically do not write reviews, but I was just too disgusted by the last episode of the Red Swan. The series started off well, but somewhere along the line they lost the plot.

First of all, like others have written, the usual tropes and all made it fall flat. There were just too many loopholes and it was terribly predictable. The lead actress was made to look so weak and unthinking, as a woman I was offended. The mother-in-law, who was protrayed as evil and scheming, somehow could not see when she was being set up. Sigh...even the bodyguard was caught oof-guard at times when he should have been most vigilant. It was baffling.

I honestly cannot recommend this series to anyone. Please, please, and please, DO NOT make a Season 2!

Director bad connecting scenes was really bad. The writing not good at all. Rain was great. Rain carried the whole movie for me. Keep acting Rain and singing, you are the best!!! I would love to see Rain in more romantic comedies. The writing lose me so many times and the scenes were so predictable and left out some much meaningful parts that would have described the plot and left out the unnecessary fill ins to prolong the movie. Scenes were long and unnecessary stares. Screaming and hitting was totally unnecessary and made the characters look crazy and out of control. As I said "Rain" made the movie!

"Red Swan," the latest addition to the Korean drama landscape, presents a gripping narrative that oscillates between intense intrigue and missed opportunities. While the plot holds promise, certain aspects leave viewers yearning for a more finely tuned execution.

Strengths: Engaging Plotlines: "Red Swan" weaves together multiple storylines, each with its own layer of mystery. The central premise-a secret society manipulating events-holds immense potential.

The tension builds steadily, drawing viewers into a web of conspiracy, betrayal, and hidden motives.

Character Dynamics: The ensemble cast delivers commendable performances. Their interactions, conflicts, and hidden agendas create a palpable sense of unease.

Yoo Ji-hoon's enigmatic character, in particular, keeps us guessing.

Areas for Improvement: Storyboard Balance: The pacing occasionally falters. Some episodes feel rushed, while others linger too long on secondary plotlines.

A more consistent rhythm would enhance the viewing experience.

Realism vs. Suspense: While the mysterious elements are intriguing, the show occasionally sacrifices realism for shock value. Characters make improbable choices, and certain plot twists strain credibility.

Striking a better balance between suspense and believability would elevate the storytelling.

Predictability: The mystery's resolution becomes apparent too early for seasoned viewers. A more intricate puzzle-one that challenges our deductive abilities-would heighten the suspense.

Visual Aesthetics: The cinematography captures the urban landscape beautifully, but some scenes lack visual flair. A more stylized approach could enhance the show's overall impact.

Final Thoughts: "Red Swan" has the ingredients for greatness-a compelling premise, strong performances, and a shadowy world waiting to be explored. With adjustments to pacing, realism, and plot intricacy, it could soar to greater heights. As viewers, we remain hopeful that subsequent seasons will refine the narrative and deliver the edge-of-your-seat experience we crave.

When I first saw the cast and trailer. I knew with Rain( Ninja Assassin, 2009), I am in for a thrilling masterful drama and what a drama it was. People claim it has plot holes but I saw none here because every one of them were answered at the end. If only they had been abit patient to see the ending. Stellar cast and great performances all over!!. People forget this is not their usual romcom where they will be expecting some love storylines. This is swashbuckling action at its best with witty storytelling. Red Swan is absolutely fantastic, excellently written script with sweet twists and turns, great cinematography and expertly choreographed fight sequences. It's a high-octane drama at breakneck pace. Rain has actually stuck to his words when he said " I wanted to do something that looked really impactful" It has everything for everybody in terms of genre( Romance, Drama, Action and some comedic moments).
