Abrams' "Lost" had an almost entirely different cast
Narrative
The survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together to survive on a seemingly deserted tropical island… J.J. See which A-listers lost one of the most popular TV shows of all time.
However, when Koreans marry, the wife never takes her husband’s surname
The character of Sawyer was originally intended to be an older, slick urban con artist from Buffalo, NY. However, when Josh Holloway forgot a line at his audition and subsequently kicked a chair in frustration and cursed loudly, the writers liked the playfulness he brought to the character of Sawyer and decided to write Sawyer as more of a Southern, darker drifter. Jin and Sun are married and share the last name “Kwon”, which becomes an important plot point in the final season.
Weird opening credits designed by JJ
In fact, in Korea it’s not even allowed to marry someone with the same last name, except in rare circumstances… [repeated line] Desmond Hume: See you in another life bro.. Abrams on his laptop in black and white as a tribute to the Twilight Zone..
Adapted to Lost: The Journey (2005)
It’s amazing how well the series has aged. When you see it all again, some of the stories make a lot more sense. I even think the ending makes a lot more sense now.
This is something I was completely blind to when I first saw Lost
It’s an amazing series that paved the way for the wonderful landscape of high-quality TV series we enjoy today.
