Red Swan Ending Explained

How Does Red Swan End?

Red Swan follows Oh Wan-soo (Kim Ha-Neul), a woman who grew up in a low-income household before attaining fame as a professional golfer and eventually marrying Kim Yong-guk (Jung Gyu-woon), the head of a major South Korean corporation. Though Wan-soo tries to make her marriage to Yong-guk work, she becomes aware of the infidelities he has over their years together. After Wan-soo is saved from a violent incident in Manila by Seo Do-yoon (Rain), who becomes her bodyguard, leading the two to gradually fall in love with each other. It is revealed that the attempt on Wan-soo’s life is all part of a greater conspiracy by Han Sang-il (Yoon Je-moon), a close colleague of Yong-guk. Sang-il learned that Yong-guk’s late father left Wan-soo a massive inheritance and is determined to seize the money for himself while doctoring ledgers to discredit Wan-soo and oust his colleague and former lover Park Mi-ran (Seo Yi-rook). Meanwhile, Do-yoon begins working with Wan-soo’s brother, Hyeon-su (Kim Young-pil), to recover the ledgers and expose Sang-il’s schemes. As part of the ending of Red Swan, Sang-il has Hyeon-su killed and follows through on his plot to have Mi-ran ousted with the ledgers. Sang-il and Mi-ran’s illegitimate son, Kim Yong-min (Go Yoon), turns out to be the man who killed Yong-guk’s father and murders Yong-guk himself before Wan-soo. Though Sang-il tries to pin the murders on Wan-soo, Yong-min is arrested, while Sang-il is similarly convicted of falsifying the ledgers and embezzling funds.

Do Wan-soo & Do-yoon End Up Together?

Fortunately, despite all the corporate intrigue and murder, Wan-soo and Do-yoon do get their happy ending together. With her name cleared and no longer having anyone trying to kill her, Wan-soo donates the inheritance to charitable causes to help those less fortunate than her. Believing his duty fulfilled, Do-yoon leaves her service as her bodyguard, but this isn’t the couple’s last meeting. As Wan-soo resumes her focus on her philanthropies around the world, she is preparing for a flight out of the country when she is joined by Do-yoon, with the reunited couple ready to continue their journey together in the final scene of Red Swan. And that’s the Red Swan ending explained. Red Swan is streaming on Hulu.
