Even though this is the second time I've watched all the seasons of Bridgerton, every episode still feels as fresh and impactful as the first time.
This series, despite portraying the hardships and realities of its era, succeeds in depicting true love in a way that still resonates deeply with viewers today.
At first glance, one might think that true love simply means the romantic relationship between a man and a woman, but the reality goes much deeper.
In the season that tells Colin and Penelope's story, there's a line from the tailor to Penelope that stayed with me:
"There is no true love until you consider yourself."
For me, this was a turning point.
It means true love begins from within us-from the moment we respect ourselves, understand ourselves, grow, and only then can we share that love with others-our life partners and the people around us.
This message is not only relevant to the 19th century society depicted in the show.
Today, in 2025, we live in a world that might look very different-feminism might not be discussed as much because women have gained more awareness and stronger positions-but that doesn't take away the challenges and complexities we face now.
Bridgerton reminds us that no matter who we are or when we live, what truly matters is our personal growth, our connection to our inner selves, and discovering true love-that love which flows from our hearts and brings us closer to our real purpose in this world.
I deeply thank everyone involved in this series-from the directors and writers to the producers and every single crew member-for creating something iconic that, beyond all the glamour, reveals a profound reality;
a reality that is blossoming inside many of us right now.
