Daniel Dae Kim: TV Guide News

A Heartbreaking Loss on Lost | Roush Dispatch | 3/14/2008
My reactions to Lost are almost always extreme. Extreme excitement, nervous confusion, fear and joy and wonder all mixed up in one spectacularly emotional bundle. This week, Lost earned the ultimate compliment in the Roush playbook. It made me cry.Yunjin Kim and Daniel Dae Kim have long been among my favorite actors on the show, and their backstory is among the most romantically resonant. The island saved Sun and Jin’s rocky marriage, a union tested by class differences and the self-loathing Jin suffered by having to perform bad acts in the employ of her father. Her surprise/miracle pregnancy was a blessing, but also (given the fate of pregnant women on this island) a curse. In their latest audacious spotlight episode, a gimmicky and uneasy collision of flashback (for him) and flash-forward (for her), we learn that Sun did make it off the island to have her baby: a daughter named Ji Yeon, per Jin’s wishes.

Episode Recap: "Ji Yeon" | Lost | 3/14/2008
My mind is just totally blown right now. I know I've said that before, but this time, I really mean it. I feel like Minkowski after his last fateful ride on the time-travel express. Between the frantic searching on the Internet for facts and names and the hysterics that came at the end of the episode, I hope I am able to articulate everything coherently. Be patient with me. Tonight we learned that Sun is one of the Oceanic Six. Is that list now complete? If you include Aaron in the equation, Sun makes six survivors. But who the heck knows for sure? I am so beyond even trying to figure things out ahead of time at this point — I simply surrender to the manipulative story-crafting genius of Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof. (Ben wouldn’t stand a chance against these guys.) I guess that a person well-versed in Chinese and Korean would have known right off the bat that Jin’s story was unfolding in China during this episode. What was not so obvious (at least to me)? He was... read more
