Yulin Kuang - How to End a Love Story

Mid-career as a screenwriter, adapting other people's stories, Yulin Kuang swerved to write her own book and yes, it's likely to be adapted for the screen too when she finds the time! How to End a Love Story is about Helen, who has a very good reason to detest Grant after what happened when they were at high school, but then they are put in the same writers' room. He's adapting her very successful book series for television.

It's not about the destination, it's all about the journey here, and Yulin has the best journey too, starting in fan fiction, then creating her own comedy series and manifesting a brilliant career. In return, we explain what a bonkbuster is/was. Hmm, our trajectory needs work, but hope you love this conversation as much as we did!

Please note - this episode is more sweary than usual!
