Episode 3 of Red Swan dives deeper into the tangled web of secrets and danger
surrounding Oh Wansoo. We pick up with Do-yoo revealing a shocking truth: the
attack on Wansoo wasn't random, and the culprit is likely the same person who
killed Juhyuk.
A Flashback to Uncover the Truth:
A well-placed flashback takes us back to Do-yoo and Juhyuk's past. We learn they were tasked with investigating the President's movements, leading them to uncover the Eight Star gang - a criminal organization involved in gambling, assassinations, and more. This investigation also sheds light on Chairman Kim Duo's suspicious death and the Hwain Group's money laundering activities.
Family Feud and Forbidden Love:
Back in the present, tensions rise within the Hwain family. Wansoo confronts both her brother and Te-ra, the mistress of her cheating husband Yong Guk. We learn a bombshell: Te-ra's son, Junhee, is actually Yong Guk's biological child. Despite this revelation, Wansoo refuses to divorce and instead urges Te-ra to leave Korea with Junhee.
Meanwhile, Wansoo seeks solace in Do-yoo, their bond deepening as they navigate the treacherous waters surrounding her.
Mi-ran's Manipulation and a Forced Encounter:
Mi-ran, Yong Guk's mother, emerges as a cunning manipulator. She pushes Wansoo to accept Junhee and reveals a dark secret: Yong Guk married Wansoo only to cover up a past scandal involving a deceased fiancée. This revelation further strains Wansoo and Yong Guk's already fractured relationship.
Mi-ran orchestrates a family portrait photoshoot, forcing Wansoo to confront Junhee's presence. To further her control, Mi-ran reveals a hidden truth - she has been hiding Junhee's existence for five years at Wansoo's request, suggesting Junhee can replace their deceased daughter, Chunhee.
Escape and a Dangerous Revelation:
Overwhelmed by manipulation and betrayal, Wansoo seeks refuge at the beach with Do-yoo by her side. She demands proof of his claims about the attack, showcasing her cautious nature.
Later, they arrive at her vacation home, only to find Yong Guk waiting. The encounter turns violent as Yong Guk attempts to force himself on Wansoo. Do-yoo intervenes, preventing further escalation.
Do-yoo Uncovers More Secrets:
Meanwhile, Do-yoo infiltrates the Hwain Group building and discovers a hidden training ground for bodyguards, possibly future assassins. He showcases his impressive fighting skills, winning two matches against their best fighters.
Do-yoo uses this opportunity to inquire about Junhee. However, Mr. Park, the head trainer, avoids the question and insists Chairman Kim Duo died of a heart attack. Undeterred, Do-yoo manages to obtain footage of Yong Guk, leading him to a shocking revelation.
A Twist in the Tale:
Do-yoo analyzes the footage and discovers Chairman Kim Duo did not die at the Grand Palace as reported. The evidence suggests he was killed elsewhere by someone within the Hwain Group.
This revelation sets the stage for a thrilling journey ahead, as Do-yoo and Wansoo fight for the truth and their forbidden love amidst a family riddled with secrets and violence.
