I saw an advertisement on TV and was very impressed by the videography in direct sunlight (the setting was a beach). Here is a link to the advertisement. Two photos from the ad are shown below. As you can see, there are no harsh shadows or yellowing of the skin, which is usually seen in very sunny environments. Whenever I take my photos in direct sunlight, they come out as they do in the third photo.
Advertisement screen grabs (sorry, couldn't get rid of the playback buttons)
Example of typical sunlight photo (note the shadows are much harsher):

It's likely the video you link to won't be there in a year or so. Links like that tend to come and go. Can you find an example still frame from that video or elsewhere to embed into your question? Thanks!

If you do as the commercial is brain washing you into thinking and insist that your doctor prescribe "Trendy drug d'jour" then everyone and everything will be softer and fuzzier and life will be puppy dog breath and roses on the beach. That's right Merica, get your medical advice from TV commercials produced by drug companies. There is a reason they spend many tens of thousands of dollars on the lighting in those commercials.

1. Fill the shadows
You can use a big white reflector to bounce light, which would be the best and cheapest option, or if you have a big budget get a ton of sun white balanced light.
With still photography is easier, you can use the bounced light the same as for video or use a flash.
If you want DOF you also need to reduce the overall light using ND filters.
2. Screen the direct sunlight
I just noticed the diffuse shadow on the lady on some shots... yeap you take a big light frame made of aluminum or carbon fiber tubes (aluminum is way cheaper), put a translucent white fabric (nylon) and put it above your talents.
For small frames, let's say 2x2 m, you can use PVC pipes.

No-budget options:
Wait for some clouds to show up. Clouds are big and white, so just having some in the sky can provide light from different directions to fill in shadows somewhat.
Shoot near a white wall. A sunlit wall is a huge reflector that'll give you soft light. Orient your subject relative to the sun and the wall to get the kind of light that you want.

Early-morning sun has a naturally "pale" look, before the sun gets more intense. If you check the shadow on the man bending over, it's relatively long. Natural sunlight at about 6-8am would give you exactly this kind of picture.
The sea and the white sand on the beach also act as natural reflectors. Beach photos often have less prominent shadows because of this.
If you're taking pictures in a hot climate, there are other advantages of filming earlier too. The microclimate is strongly driven by thermals off the land, which haven't had a chance to kick in by then. As a result, any clouds will be high-altitude and attractively wispy, there will be little breeze, and the sea will be fairly calm. When the land heats up and the thermal cycle starts, the wind will pick up, the waves will pick up, and larger cumulus clouds may build up which will affect your sky shots.

It's likely the video you link to won't be there in a year or so. Links like that tend to come and go. Can you find an example still frame from that video or elsewhere to embed into your question? Thanks!

If you do as the commercial is brain washing you into thinking and insist that your doctor prescribe "Trendy drug d'jour" then everyone and everything will be softer and fuzzier and life will be puppy dog breath and roses on the beach. That's right Merica, get your medical advice from TV commercials produced by drug companies. There is a reason they spend many tens of thousands of dollars on the lighting in those commercials.
