Synopsis

“Swallow the Sun” revolves around three young people in Jeju Island and how they develop Seogwipo, Jeju into a world city.

Kim Jung Woo (Ji Sung) is the illegitimate child of a gangster father and a haenyeo (a traditional freediver) mother. He was raised in an orphanage and soon developed a rebellious temperament.

Lee Soo Hyun (Sung Yu Ri) has a strong will and is focused on achieving her goals. She overcame many unfortunate situations in her life to first study overseas and then become the organizer for a world famous performance team.

Jang Tae Hyuk (Lee Wan) was raised without ever knowing his father. After he entered adulthood, Tae-hyeok meets Jun Kwang Ryul (Jang Min Ho), a wealthy businessman, who claims to be his father. This changes Tae-hyeok’s life entirely as he now works to excel in business management.

Notes

- All scenes shot in Korea took place on Jeju Island, while overseas scenes were filmed in Johannesburg, South Africa.
- A shooting site of 6,417 square meters was especially constructed in Seoguipo, Jeju for this drama.
- Production was shut down due to several cases of the H1N1 virus among staff members. This in turn caused the cancellation of the press conference and episode 1 being pushed back to air on 2009-July-09.
