Abrams' "Lost" it was almost a completely different cast
Scenario
The survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together to survive on a seemingly deserted tropical island… J. See which A-listers have missed out on one of the most popular TV shows of all time.
However, when Koreans marry, the wife never takes the husband’s surname
Sawyer’s character was originally supposed to be an older, sleek, suit-wearing urbanite from Buffalo, New York. However, when Josh Holloway forgot a line during an audition and then kicked a chair in frustration and swore loudly, the writers liked the side of Sawyer’s character and decided to write Sawyer as more of a southern, darker drifter. Jin and Sun are married and have the last name "Kwon", which becomes an important plot point in the final season.
The weird opening credits were designed by JJ
In fact, in Korea, you’re not even allowed to marry someone with the same last name, except in rare cases.. [line repeated] Desmond Hume: See you in another life, brother.. Abrams on his laptop in black and white as an homage to The Twilight Zone.

LOST went beyond TV drama writing and encapsulated Theroy Theroy when it hit the scene in 2004. That was 14 wonderful years ago and the show is still going strong. Seriously.
Jack, Kate, Saywer, Hugo, Locke, Sayid and yes, even Benjamin Linus' the story laid out was developed in a way that few have since
My then 16-year-old son said it was the best-written show of its time, and now that he’s 30 and a writer himself, that commitment remains to this day: every other show follows in LOST’s shadow.
