Ji Sung and Sung Yuri are heading to Las Vegas for the latest shoots of their upcoming SBS drama Swallow the Sun [태양을 삼켜라] (aka the All In sequel).
The actors and crew left Korea for the States on June 16, and plan to shoot there for approximately two weeks. This is the drama’s second overseas location shoot, following their end-of-March trip to Johannesburg, South Africa.
In the drama, Sung Yuri plays a successful international concert/event planner, whose first job comes as part of the planning team at Vegas’ Cirque Du Soleil show. Co-stars Yoo Oh-sung and Lee Wan also traveled to the Vegas shoot, where all four characters meet and begin their “intertwining fates.”
Swallow the Sun is planning for 24 episodes and follows City Hall on Wednesdays and Thursdays in July.

this looks good . i want to see this
It looks like Swallow the Sun filmed in Sun City, South Africa. Great place, loads of fun. Had a school trip there…
Interesting…
Jisung sure looks different in this role, than when he played a cardio surgeon in New Heart and a rich corporate suit in Save The Last Dance For Me… I think he has gotten better looking with age.
Sung Yuri also looks way different. I wonder if she is officially out of the cute look stage of her career, and is sort of in the Nam Sang Mi (in Bad Family / Dog and Wolf) kind of stage…
where in vegas are they filming? a hotel that has a Cirque de soleil show playing?
*thinks about how to convince the husband that a weekend getaway to Vegas without him is NEEDED**
I cant wait to see sung yuri in a new drama! Not a big fan of jisung, but my heart went out to his character in “Terms of Endearment” long long time ago. and he was cute in “save the last dance” and charasmatic in “all in”. I’m hoping to like his new character too. Maybe this drama will make me a die hard fan??? Whatever, sung yuri , fighting!
ok, I am absolutely going to go to Vegas!
Grr why couldn’t they have filmed it last summer…then i could have seen them when i was in Vegas for vacation T.T
I’ll cry if they film in the Mirage (which is where i stayed)
I keep staring at SYR’s feet.. Are they even touching the ground?
I’m not exactly excited for this drama, but I want to go stalk them in Vegas. :3
thanks JB for the info. does anybody knows where the shootings will be. i’m from vegas.
I would so watch this had it been a different actress and not Sung Yuri. I love Ji Sung.
But it pains me to watch Sung Yuri’s bland acting, I’ve really tried to like her acting by watching Hong Gil Dong, but not even that can change my opinion and still think she’s a bad actress
I’m up for a Vegas trip – who wants to plan it? I live in SD!
it is not the sequel of All In, the story is different. Both dramas share the same PD and scriptwriter.
@8 Kender –
“I keep staring at SYR’s feet.. Are they even touching the ground?”
LOL.
The position of her feet indicate that she is actually moving fairly rapidly, since neither foot is actually touching the ground. Either that or she is levitating using the power of her charm and magnetism. CSI: Dramabeans?
herm.. does this mean english lines? hahaha
The pic got my interest. I think its hot, specially Ji Sung. Is it really “All In” sequel? coz in the long run I might be comparing the two and how it became a sequel. Anyway, I think its promising to watch this.
j_d_b,
this is the second collaboration of the scriptwriter and PD of All In but the story is totally different, so its definitely not the sequel of All In
Swallow the Sun isn’t the literal sequel to All In, but this project has been nicknamed “All In 2″ and referred to as the (unofficial) All In sequel from its inception because of the writer, PD, and subject.
@4; all the vegas hotels have a cirque de soilel.
Perfect! I’ll be in vegas next week for a convention. so where are they shooting?
Sung Yuri is back..I love her…she’s one of my favourite actress..
Las Vegas..When you hear it, you will get the image suddenly..
A very known place of gambling..This drama will be related to gambling issue? No wonder then if “yes” is the answer..Definitely ‘All In’ sequel..
Sung Yuri looks so different in that picture. For a moment I thought it was Park Jin Hee.
Sung Yuri have change with style short shirt , Look yuri stronger & gorgerous.
I like character of ji sung He look good than new hearts . I am waiting picture of Lee Wan.
Waiting drama of yuri ^-^ sa rang you & thanks javabeans
anybody knows which hotel they are staying at? or their filming schedule?
ji sung looks so … different. i hope it’s good. if not, oh well … i’ll catch another drama.
smile silly
jisung is looking sexy…but a haircut would be even more sexy~! Honestly..i can’t wait for this drama to air!
they’re in vegas? i’ll need at least 6 hours of a road trip to reach vegas…….
but at which hotel they’re filming? if im not wrong, cirque du soleil plays in all hotels in las vegas……
@18 that guy–not all the hotels on the strip have a cirque show… we stayed at Luxor and it didn’t have a show went we were there. the excalibur and mandalay bay didn’t at that time either. I believe that there were only 5 cirque de soleil shows when we went… i remember for sure NY NY and Bellagio, but i can’t remember the other hotels.
just looked it up online: Bellagio, NYNY, TI, MGM, Mirage…and now Luxor just started a Chriss Angel Show.
Ji Sung’s looking damn fine!! *drools*
filming is at mgm grand
Hey,
I was an EXTRA in the Movie ( girls at the pool)…Everybody was so nice to us! Great team!

Hey wTF are you talking?
how can you say that sung yu ri is a bad actress?
did you watch snow queen ? or hong gi dong ?
if you watched , but you still think that her acting skills are bad . => you are a stupid. you know.
i cried many times when i watched snow queen. her acting also improved a lot when she was a funny character in hong gi dong.
And now, she wanted to try in another role in swallow the sun.
if you watch swallow the sun, you will see the way of her acting is good. she turns into a cold and revenge way which is good.
in my opinion. i believe she is a good actress and the most beautiful.
she has a kind heart, if you want to believe me, you can go to youtube and search about her. you will see many videos which you can see her real side.
I LOVE YOU sung yuri
