Behind the Scenes, Plotting
"Lost" was originally inspired by the hit reality show "Survivor" and the movie "Desert Island", but when J.J. Abrams was brought in by ABC to helm the show, he decided to infuse it with a supernatural element, which resulted in the show's island having mystical powers to heal people from paralysis, cancer, and even to "raise the dead". It even brings people "back from the dead".
The premiere of "Lost" drew a surprising 19 million viewers, and the writers had to think about how they could continue a story that had gotten off to an ambitious start in ways that made sense and were unexpected. Executive producer Carlton Cuse acted as a firefighter, coming in on short notice to help devise the plot's direction after the halfway point of the first season had aired.
He and Lindelof discussed a plan that was based on the basic principle of negating all the inherent thinking of the traditional desert island survival story. So instead of being a modern version of Robinson Crusoe, Lost became a quirky drama involving time travel, the butterfly effect, and serialized conspiracies.
Casting process
The cast customized the roles for many of the actors before meeting them in person. Kim Yoon Jin started out reading the script for the role of Kate (a role actually played by Evangeline Lilly) and there was no Sun at all at the time.
George Garcia read the script for the role of Sawyer (actually played by Josh Halloway), and there was no Hurley character at the time, either. But the cast, after seeing Kim Yoon-jin's resume and performance again and learning about her positioning in Korea, thought they had to write her a part.
Eventually the cast created the role of Sun based on her audition performance and also had the role of Daniel Kim since they thought she should be in a married state.
