Internal and External Conflict

<p>Most of us are conflict averse...but when it comes to stories...it keeps the reader turning the pages or the viewer hitting "next" for just one more episode. Without conflict your characters might be at peace, but they will also be hella boring. Our characters need to want things, and conflict are the obstacles that prevent them from getting them. Join Megan and Lia for a candid chat on external and internal conflict within the context of their own storytelling as well as using examples from dramas (including a shout out to Japanese BL Old Fashioned Cupcake which Lia reallllllly recommends). </p><p>Kpop Rec of the Week:<br><a href="https://youtu.be/jbT6Kd-VRwM">Haegeum</a> and <a href="https://youtu.be/IX1dkYoLHVs">Amygdala</a> by AgustD (Suga of BTS)</p><p>Yes.
