Daniel Dae Kim
ABC's Lost (Wednesdays at 9 pm/ET) tied up at least one loose thread when a young Danielle Rousseau and her team fished a water-logged, dehydrated and yet very much alive Jin out of the ocean last week. Will Jin now reunite with Sawyer and the other still-stranded castaways? Will Sun learn her husband is alive before she's gone too far? And just how good is Jin's English these days? Daniel Dae Kim shares a look at the "excellent adventure" to come.

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. Jin, however, was not so lucky. His race to get to the hospital wit...

My mind is just totally blown right now I know Ive 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 wouldnt 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 Jins story was unfolding in China during this episode What was not so obvious at least to me He was i

Daniel Dae Kim as Lost's Jin-Soo Kwon
Our favorite castaways thus far have been on the island a few months, but for Lost fans, it's been more than 260 days since Jack's super-freaky flash-forward. As the Jan. 31 season premiere (finally) draws closer, TVGuide.com is offering daily profiles — "refreshers," if you will — of the key players in ABC's island-based odyssey.
Jin, by the "Numbers": Stubborn and quick to anger yet fiercely loyal to those he cares about, Jin-Soo Kwon (played by Daniel Dae Kim) has managed to find a freedom on the island that was sadly missing from his previous life. He was born in South Korea to a prostitute who abandoned him upon birth to a fisherman whom she claimed was Jin's father. As he grew into adulthood, Jin desired to break out of his lower social class, but the best work he
