Watch Red Swan Online: Synopsis

Marrying up can be murder, or so pro golfer Oh Wan-soo discovers when she weds the heir of the Hwain corporation – and finds herself with a target on her back. Featuring excellent turns by South Korean superstar Rain and award-winning actress Kim Ha-neul (Blind), this new K-drama series has something for everyone. Catch every episode with our guide below, which explains how to watch Red Swan online with a Hulu subscription.

Breakneck action, shadowy corporate conspiracies, burgeoning romance and revenge all converge in Red Swan. Written by Choi Yoon-jung (Three Sisters, Second to Last Love) and directed by Park Hong-kyun (A Korean Odyssey), this compelling tale is anchored by the palpable chemistry of Ha Neul as Wan-Soo – whose rags to riches trajectory puts her in grave danger – and pop-star-turned-actor Rain (Ninja Assassin) as her brooding bodyguard, Seo Do-yoon.

Tired of the affairs of her powerful husband Kim (Jung Gyu-woon) and narrowly evading multiple attempts on her life, she’s drawn into close proximity with Seo, whose mission to protect her while secretly investigating the murder of a friend binds them together in a tangled web of danger and desire. Any one of the Hwain group could want her dead, with her volatile mother-in-law, Park Mi-ran (Seo Yi-sook, The Rebel) looking particularly suspect.

Following hot on the heels on K-drama smash hits such as historical zombie drama Kingdom and viral sensation Squid Game, Red Swan's action packed thrills could well be your next TV obsession. Catch the series now with our viewing guide below, which breaks down how to watch Red Swan online where you are.
