‘Bridgerton’ Stars Luke Thompson and Yerin Ha Are Already So ​​Cute Together, It’s Unfair

Shonda Rhimes, you sneaky minx. The wait between seasons of Netflix’s period romance The Bridgerton Chronicles is difficult enough without making us fall in love with the main cast months before we get to see their characters’ love story! Unfair and uncool, Shondaland.

Just to annoy us, the company filmed a conversation between Luke Thompson, who plays Benedict Bridgerton, and Yerin Ha, a newcomer who will play his love interest Sophie Baek. They’re cute together. Disgusting!

In the video, Thompson comes off as a bit of a himbo (complimentary), flexing his biceps and not understanding Ha’s impressive vocabulary, while Ha is smiley and sweet. And prismatic.

With the season currently in production, Ha and Thompson are in the middle of costume fittings, and Ha described the process of becoming Sophie as very special. “It’s pretty incredible. I never saw myself wearing clothes, even maid clothes, during that Regency period, I never saw myself in those dramas,” she said. “Even trying them was so new and so fresh and…refreshing.” I feel really honored.

Although racially inclusive casting has become more common in recent years and is a staple of The Bridgerton ChroniclesMost of the Regency films and shows we all watched growing up had all-white casts, so for many The Bridgerton Chronicles actors, the series is their first chance to explore Ye Olde Austen Times.

More importantly, the conversations highlight the fact that the most important chemistry between the leads in season four is, in fact, chemistry. Masked balls, sexy secrets, Katie Leung, a central love story that will obsess us, can we have it now? Here’s everything we know about the upcoming season.

While you wait, don’t be fooled into witnessing a fake. The Bridgerton Chronicles events like the disastrous Detroit “ball” which was just an event hall with a stripper pole. But if so, tell us about it.
