Following its premiere last week, Disney+’s “Red Swan” has provided a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the making of its first two episodes!
“Red Swan” tells the story of Oh Wan Soo (Kim Ha Neul), a former golfer who enters high society when she marries the heir of Hwain Group. After her life is threatened due to a fierce battle over succession, Wan Soo comes face-to-face with the Hwain family’s secret due to her bodyguard Seo Do Yoon (Rain).

The newly released video highlights how dedicated the actors are during the filming process. It kicks off with scenes designed to replicate a rainy street in the Philippines. As the staff members spray water to create the atmosphere, Rain stands in the rain to soak himself. Then, he continues to perform running sequences despite the chilly weather and wet conditions. Even during breaks, he is seen collaborating closely with the martial arts team to prepare for his action scenes. Rain engages in rigorous and repetitive rehearsals, displaying his strong work ethic and commitment to his performance.
In the subsequent scene, Kim Ha Neul and Jung Gyu Woon, who plays Kim Yong Guk, are shown preparing for a dance sequence at the banquet. The two actors actively exchange ideas and receive guidance from their coach. Their diligent preparation clearly pays off as they visibly improve and confidently display their skills once filming begins.
The video also demonstrates that the actors’ enthusiasm does not diminish even as filming continues late into the night. While preparing for the scene where Do Yoon escorts a drunken Wan Soo home, Rain and the director engage in lively discussions, sharing insights on how to make a better scene. They even participate in short rehearsals together, with the director stepping into Kim Ha Neul’s role.
