i'm obsessed with them.
excuse me, the way he effortlessly hoists her into his arms???
if you defend Colin Bridgerton's character decisions in Bridgerton season 3 part 2 like i am being so fully judgmental you are MAD WEIRD like there's something off going on up there....

The reason Book Polin is superior is that the reason Colin doesn't like Penelope in the book is because HE BARELY KNOWS HER. They are acquaintances at best. Penelope was friends with Eloise, and Colin was Eloise's brother. In Romancing Mr. Bridgerton, the book starts with Colin finally spending some one-on-one time with Penelope, learning about her, who she is, and then finds himself deeply in love with her. He unlocked a whole new level in someone he barely knew. That's why that love story is so beautiful in terms of unrequited-to-requited love. Also, the way book Colin is just so HORRENDOUSLY down bad...I just don't have faith that LN can capture that.
In Show Polin, Colin knows her very well, they've spent a lot of quality time together. To the point he even tries to set her up with someone else! He is so unromantically interested that he is okay with her being with someone else. Ugh. Gross. It's just not the same, and not as good. I hope to be pleasantly surprised this season but Book Polin is just superior in every way.

This is where the fun begins.
The problem with having Pen run after Colin, pursue him, chase after him, beg for his love, ask him to dance at her own damn wedding is that it's pathetic. Yes, it's pathetic because she's been pining after him all this time, and it was time for Colin to be in the driver's seat of this relationship. It's vital for their love story that he finally takes INITIATIVE and pursue HER, even after marriage, even when he is angry with her.
The way she has to continue to run after him, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Because now that we know this is how Colin handles conflict - he will ice her out and force her to run after him - she's going to be dealing with this forever and that's sad. That isn't how it should be.
