if i keep my expectations low then i won't be so disappointed but book Polin remains superior, always.

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.
making Penelope ask her husband to dance at her own damn wedding is so cruel, why would they do Pen like this? why do this ?? and she asks him to dance after HE AVOIDS HER THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE WEDDING BREAKFAST, and on top of that, she has to walk over to HIM as he stands by the wall like a dumbass.
Why is she standing all alone there has Colin chats up randos when he should be at his wife's side at their own damn wedding reception? They should be greetings guests together.
She's chasing after her husband like this, initiative everything, running after him, begging for his love. it's so gd humiliating and her character doesn't deserve this!
i have so many issues with Polin in part 2 that I'm not sure if i should be tagging "antipolin" before posting them. i'M SO MAD AT THE WRITERS and i don't understand anyone who finds Colin's behavior in part 2 romantic! he was being so gross and spineless!!
