Ji-sung "in daze" after last drama

Hallyu star Ji-sung said he has been "in a daze" since wrapping up shooting his last drama just ahead of the Chuseok thanksgiving holidays.

"I don't think this has ever happened before but I barely remember what I did or what happened since Friday except that I slept," the actor told Asia Economic Daily over the phone late on Tuesday.

Ji-sung had wrapped up shooting the final episode of SBS TV series "Swallow the Sun" on the southern island of Jeju before spending time with his family over the holiday weekend.

"My parents actually came up to Seoul to see me because I was so tired both physically and mentally," the actor said apologetically.

"Sun", aired since early July, had remained atop ratings charts against rival TV series broadcast on Wednesdays and Thursdays before closing on October 1.

Ji-sung added he then stayed up all night on Monday shooting a music video for singer Wheesung, whom he is close friends with.

The 32-year-old actor started gaining popularity in Japan with his role as a doctor in 2007 TV series "New Heart".
