After spending over a season and a half apart, Jin and Sun were finally reunited in the final stretch of episodes in the show's final season. With a daughter waiting for them at home and an escape from the island bound to happen for at least a few characters, it seemed that the two would finally get to have a happy ending by the time the series ended. Nope. In the very next episode, the Man in Black's plan to gather all of Jacob's candidates together and leave it to their personal issues to cause their demise while debating the bomb he had gotten aboard nearly succeeds, with only a last-minute sacrifice by Sayid preventing it from wiping them all out. Unfortunately, Sun is pinned by wreckage in the sinking submarine that can't be moved and Jin chooses to stay with her rather than be without her again. Even knowing that the two - along with all the other characters - manage to find peace in the afterlife and move on together doesn't keep this scene from still being the show's most emotionally devastating. From the beginning of season one, when most viewers were rooting for Sun to leave the seemingly cold-hearted Jin, the couple had come a long way, with the series peeling back layer after layer of their relationship to reveal the love that brought them together in the first place and that kept them together right to the end. Daniel Dae Kim and Yunjin Kim sold this scene, leaving audiences grasping for the closest tissue box and the series with its most heart-wrenching, moving deaths. Like this article?
