In all honesty, Jin and Sun Kwon are my two favourite characters on LOST. That's not to say I don't like Ben, Locke et al along with the rest of the fanbase, but since the early days of the debut season, the Kwon husband and wife duo have been consistently interesting, fascinating, and incredibly deep characters, that most people usually forget about in the grand scheme of things. In a fictional universe inhabited by a clairvoyant, a cursed lottery winner, an evil mastermind and a one-time disabled hunter now recovered, the fact that Sun and Jin are merely a married couple is a major draw and a well-fought win for normality in the show, in essence, the two characters that still remind of the simpler times of those opening plane crash episodes.

Along with the rest of the show's ensemble however,  Sun and Jin too have been given their own development, and again, while not seemingly integral to the mystery and mythology of the show, their own personal backstories are forever interesting, often simply a tale of mere love and nothing else. Ji-Yeon seemingly continues these conventions, as Sun is rushed to hospital to give birth to Jin's baby, via a comment about her being one of this season's big things, The Oceanic 6. She gives birth to a daughter, while much of Jin's time is spent hunting for a cuddly panda as a present; a seemingly simple and charming couple of scenes with a plot-twist mindfu*k that cheats the viewer completely the way the show is renowned for. You'll love it, but Sun & Jin fans will thankfully be pleased that the episode has frequent exchanges between the two back on the ol' island of doom. A charming story of love, as always.

But as with last year, the focus in Ji-Yeon and indeed the season is once again entirely on the new characters, and not purely the survivors. This episode sees the exposition of the freighter plot and all the new stories that come with it, slowly moving the show's over-arching plot, while, inexplicably raising plenty of new questions and setting up for, presumably some answers next week before the show goes on hiatus. If we'll get them is another matter, but thankfully Ji-Yeon provides more than a filler episode that some would label it as, and once again proves that LOST, is still as good as it ever was. We may be in the fourth season now, but promises are being delivered, and all those early stories and characters are looking to come back in more than a big way.
