LOST

Last week I was working with my friend Taesik Kim who is originally from Korea and he told me that the Korean guy from Lost (Daniel Dae Kim) can hardly speak that language. He even told me that my accent is better than his and that sometimes he needs to read the subtitles to understand what was said by his character.
At the same time I thought Taesik's comment was funny and made me laugh, it stuck to my mind and made me somewhat disappointed with the show. Don't get me wrong. I am still completely hooked on it but it made me wonder how come one of the TV's biggest hits would jeopardize its reputation by using an american actor who cannot speak Korean to play that role. I am sure the entire Korean community in USA is either laughing or enfuriated with that pathetic choice.
Daniel Dae Kim probably has great connections with the poducers. Either that, or Jin-Soo is part of many still unfolded secrets of LOST.
