To my delight, Bridgerton delivered in Season 4. We do see Ha’s breasts, once in Episode 5 in bed and again in Episode 8 for the much-discussed steamy bathtub scene. During both scenes, sensual and beautiful, I smiled because it was the first time I had seen breasts similar to mine on screen. I thought about myself in 2012, how I had stood there shirtless, how I had accepted the responsibility to teach my white roommates about Asian breasts. Maybe if Bridgerton had existed back then, I wouldn’t have had to.
