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).

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!

Korean Drama '' Red Swan '' is an action melodrama with a romantic twist.

The drama has plenty of action scenes which were well executed and entertaining. The twists were enjoyable as well. So, the thriller part was interesting enough, with the family secrets being scandalous enough to keep things edgy.

On the other hand, the focus on the romance was not a smart choice. It occupied too much screentime that could have been used for the mystery so that it would have been better developed. Also, it just didn't fit right with the story.

The performances were, finally, good enough.

So, overall, four out of ten.

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!

I came into this series with high expectations, but with some trepidation given some of the plot development problems of the Disney / Snowdrop series.

The series appears to only be offered on Hulu in the United States (even though it was advertised for Disney) and just finding the series took an act of commitment, since it didn't show up on any search fields in Disney+. Once found on Hulu (at the bottom of the search results, after multiple hits for anything red or dawn dating back 40 years), I attempted to watch with the cheaper ads version, but the quantity of ads was impossible to bear.

Still committed to watching the series in the best light possible, I forked over $17.99 for a month to watch the series ad-free. Now, micro second black screen interruptions have replaced the ads and reveal the jilting production transitions between scenes.

Skipping the technical flaws, the storyline is just too over the top with the evil in-laws and cheating husband. I have only just finished episode four and will continue watching because Rain makes even this sad production palatable... but just barely. My hope is to be able to upgrade a few stars by the end of the series.
