HOUSE OF THE DRAGON Preview for Episode 7 of Season 2
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.
