It’s the script, isn’t it? I think that’s what’s irking me about When the Stars Gossip. We’re on Episode 7 now and the K-Drama still...

With the end in sight, The Night Agent Season 2 pulls no punches in Episode 9. There’s at least one major death here, several hair-raising set-pieces, an out-of-nowhere turnaround in the Iranian subplot, and some genuine emotional catharsis to seal the deal.

There it is – that end of season feeling. It took a while, but Episode 8 is where The Night Agent Season 2 really kicks into gear, delivering significant character turns and major twists to build the stakes ahead of the final two episodes.

There’s quite a bit going on in Episode 7 of The Night Agent Season 2. “Tilt” is, I think, the densest chapter so far, the one most full of key developments and crucial turning points in virtually every ongoing subplot.

One of the problems with When the Stars Gossip – and it’s admittedly a "me" problem – is that I only care what’s going on in one narrow section of it.

When the Stars Gossip needs a turning point, I think. If Episode 5 proves anything, it’s that the status quo isn’t quite enough, despite the novelty of the setting.
