It took me nearly 24 hours to finally understand what was so special about this episode. Indeed it featured Sun and an unfortunate event leaded her to lose one of her ability. The mind who got the idea is very creative because the impact it had on the dual story was both disturbing and subtle. In the previous installments it was expressed with smooth transitions between the island and urban arcs, mirror editing and other cross-connected references. Moreover even if Yunjin Kim never really convinced me as Sun I found her performance was stronger and more authentic. She succeeded in making us care about her character and I also really liked a moment she shared with Jack near the end. What happened to her was also so puzzling that I already plan to watch the episode again to better understand it.
Jin was also featured but his role was less important than Sun's. Daniel Dae Kin gave a decent performance but nothing to mind blow us. I found Yunjin far much more convincing but her role was more demanding. As for their stories they were entertaining but not as captivating as the ones from episodes like The Substitute and Recon. In fact I think it's probably the weakest featurette of all even if it wasn't bad. It can't happen with Lost considering how mind blowing its sixth and last season is. One thing I enjoyed though is the mirror scene with the Sundown episode. It was expected considering Jin's surprising appearance in it.
As for the other characters I was slightly disappointed by Black Locke because I found its writing a bit lazy. It's like if his intelligence was dependent of what the writers have planned for him. In Sundown he manipulated Sayid and even if his heart was already infected his speech was quite convincing. In The Package his behavior was less disturbing and he even reminded me of how John Locke wasn't confident. But nothing to worry about because in The Substitute we learned that they weren't that different considering what he said to the kid, about not telling him what he can't do.
Last but not least it ended with a predictable cliffhanger but it's definitely one that intrigued me. Moreover with Richard back in the game and Charles Widmore there's plenty of elements to captivate our attention.
