A little about the character played by Daniel Dae Kim in Lost:

Kwan the character, at the beginning of the show, knew no English, and due to the same, Jin had initially isolated himself and his wife, Sun, from the group of other people who made it out of the crash alive. When he found out that his wife had secretly learned English, he felt betrayed and had even briefly cut ties with her. He then later learned English himself and involved himself more in group activities. His time on the island restored his marriage, which his violent and morally questionable job had almost ruined. He even managed to conceive a child with his wife, in spite of his pre-established infertility.
