Scenario
Survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together to survive on a seemingly deserted tropical island. J.J. Check out which A-list stars missed out on one of the most popular TV shows of all time.
However, when Koreans get married, the wife never takes her husband’s last name
Sawyer’s character was originally meant to be a dapper, suit-wearing, older city hustler from Buffalo, New York. However, when Josh Holloway forgot a line in his audition and subsequently kicked a chair in frustration and swore loudly, the writers liked the spin it gave to Sawyer’s character and decided to write Sawyer as a darker southern drifter. Jin and Sun are married and share the last name “Kwon,” which becomes a major plot point in the final season.
The weird opening credits were designed by JJ
In fact, in Korea it’s not even allowed to marry someone who has the same last name except in exceptional circumstances. [repeated line] Desmond Hume: See you in another life, bro. Abrams on his black and white laptop as an homage to The Twilight Zone.
Edited into Lost: The Journey (2005)
Lost is one of those once-in-a-lifetime shows. I started watching it again after a long time and it still holds up to this day. 10/10 stars
