Red Swan tells the story of Oh Wan-soo, a woman born into a poor family, who turns her life around and becomes a world-class golfer, catching the attention of many, including her future husband, Kim Yong-guk, the heir to the Hwain Group. Struggling to pay off her mother's debts, Wan-soo agrees to marry Yong-guk, but soon becomes unhappy when she finds out about her husband's affair. For over a decade, she lives with her husband and is determined to make it work, but things begin to change quickly when she faces the biggest night of her life. Shortly after arriving in Manila for the first time as a Goodwill Ambassador, Wan-soo is caught in a gunfight, but narrowly escapes death thanks to Seo Do-yoon, who eventually becomes her bodyguard.
