Why Lost's Sun and Jin had TV's best romance of all time

Entertainment Weekly

Yunjin Kim and Daniel Dae Kim have been named the No. 1 couple in EW's ranking of The Best TV Romances of All Time. "Sure, you may be thinking, 'What about Jack and Kate? Or Kate and Sawyer? Or Charlie and Claire or Penny and Desmond or any other iconic Lost couple?' But there's no competition — from Lost or any other series," says Sydney Bucksbaum. "Sun and Jin crossed time (literally) and space (repeatedly) to find their way back to each other, no matter what. They triumphed over the show's enduring "live together, die alone" theme when Jin ultimately chose to drown with Sun in the final season rather than survive on his own. Theirs was the only love story to span the entire series — against all odds, smoke monster or otherwise. And it also managed to subvert problematic Asian stereotypes along the way."
