No more stunt doubles: K-idol Rain promises fierce action in new drama Red Swan

He is no stranger to action flicks, having carved out a career in his native South Korea and even Hollywood as an action hero.

Rain plays tough-as-nails bodyguard Seo Do-yoon, who is assigned to protect Oh Wan-soo , a former pro golfer who now runs a charity foundation after marrying the heir of the Hwain Group conglomerate. Amid a terrorist attack, an attempted assassination and power struggles within the family, Wan-soo finds herself relying on Do-yoon not just for physical protection, but also emotional support.

The heart-throb said he spent much time talking to South Korean director Park Hong-kyun about the action sequences, as they were “something on the top of my mind as we were working on it”. South Korean actress Kim, 46, was full of praise for her co-star. She knew she was in good hands in all the action scenes because she had complete trust that Rain could pull them off.

The hunky entertainer – who is married to South Korean actress Kim Tae-hee and has two children aged six and four – added: “I tried to refrain from channelling too much of myself into the character. Thankfully, Ha-neul and I had great chemistry and we got along very well. She helped me a lot.”
