I started watching this American drama this week. In the first 20 minutes, because the life shown in the drama was too far away from myself, it didn't arouse my interest, but I still insisted on watching the first episode. I didn't expect to finish it. The first episode, I thought it was a bit interesting, so I continued to watch it, and the more I watched it, the more beautiful it became. Compared with the American dramas I watched before, it can be said that American dramas have found a new episode that attracts audiences.
The gossip girl marvelously combines the ongoing youth campus life of young people with the youthful past life of the parents. You can see the youthful flow of those wanton behaviors, but you can also see the difference in those who have gone through the green years. So, while you are watching, you are recalling your past youth, recalling those sweet days, and at the same time you are seeing the process of your own growth and transformation.
The story between Serina and her boyfriend Dan and the entanglement between Serina's mother LILY and Dan's father in the play are intertwined and interesting. When Lily faced the same decision as her daughter today, she chose money, so when her daughter needed a choice, she could empathize with her and support her daughter in choosing Dan. I don't know how these two clues will go on, it's very attractive.
I haven't read it yet, I'm watching and talking.
Maybe only the first season is suitable to watch, the screenwriter of the second season is really not good, it is too messy, what a mess, completely lost direction and clues. Just watch the first season, alas, what a waste of such a good start.
Now seeing the 15 episodes of the second season, starting from the 13th episode, the screenwriter is finally on the right track. The two characters, Chuck and B, exuded a uniquely captivating aura in season two. From the first season, I vaguely felt that the character of Chuck is not as simple as the playboy image he showed on the surface. This thread is on full display in the second season. Chuck is actually fragile and longing for love. Although he has a rich father, all he has been longing for is his father's love. But the screenwriter couldn't portray the character of Chuck's father Bart very well, and he was sent away in a car accident before he could portray it. Chuck's pain after his father's death is distressing because of the actor's performance. Especially in the scene where he stood on a high building and looked down, his eyes were red, his face was not as cold as usual, but only a fragile expression.
The role of B is also very movingly portrayed. She is not a simple rich lady, she is willful but has her own unique love and hate, she is dedicated but dare not express her feelings, when she sees Chuck's sinking, B is finally able to bravely say to him that he loves you , she is like an old hen, protecting Chuck she loves. Really cute character.
I finally finished watching the second season last night. As far as the second season is concerned, the screenwriter is indeed a little confused, trying to spread a lot of clues so that the TV series can be played like Friends for ten or eight years. But the screenwriter forgot that new clues can be developed, but old clues must be able to continue to perform brilliantly, so that this drama can not only lose its original characteristics, but also be innovative.
Nate is a character that was completely ruined by the writers in season 2, and he's been degraded from season 2 to being a fucker, having sex with different women, and for various reasons, by the end, he's totally become A messed-up character that doesn't match his princely face at all. And the relationship between B and C was completely distorted by the screenwriter in the second season. I don't understand why it is necessary for this pair of people who clearly love each other to be able to talk to each other until the last episode.
Of course, S and D are also a pair that was tricked by the screenwriter. Obviously the best match and the sweetest love, but the screenwriter wants to let the two break up again and again. And D also became very mean in the second season, not as good as the clue of their father and mother anyway. This pair of old lovers finally got together in the second season, the process was twists and turns, and the writing was not bad, but it was a bit of a failure to just fabricate their illegitimate child out of thin air.
Anyway, the second season is not as good as the first season.
