I think GG and OC are too much to compare, so today I will talk about the rich boys and princesses in the east and west of the United States.



Personally, I think OC may not be suitable for boys to watch, because the screenwriter has clearly destroyed the perfect image of a beautiful beauty in the eyes of the audience, leaving no fantasies, impulsive, promiscuous, drinking... Men are prone to collapse and lose their ideals. I feel it is a pity, there is no hope, then the little remaining space for the beautiful imagination has also been deprived, and some cannot accept it.

And GG is much better. Although S has a criminal record, he has been rehabilitated; D is such a nice person; B is a bit domineering, but he is actually very cute; There is no need to say N, except for D, no one can be better than him; and although little J is a little vain and made some small mistakes, he is actually a good boy; only G, who appeared later, is a full bitch , Fortunately, it has been confirmed that she will not appear in the second season.



In the OC, the screenwriter will write the feelings and lives of each character in a very confusing way, and each character is not very reserved, even the pair of Seth and Summer, even Seth, who was so honest, has done so many complicated things. , adults are even more chaotic, except for sandy and chirsten, the model couple, others are more chaotic than children, and there is no suitable and correct value and moral orientation at all.

But GG is not the case. From the beginning, it was determined that all the things that S had done before were discordant and despised, and B was even more merciless to S because of S's previous activities with N. The tone The decision is very clear, and when B dedicated the first night to C, it was also despised by everyone, and had a very correct moral direction.



In OC, young people show abnormal confusion and even indulgence in life, but GG is different. Young people do things with purpose and scheming. I don’t know if this is a true reflection of the lives of people in the east and west of the United States. The difference is that the West is more lazy, free, and unconstrained, while the East is more dogmatic, utilitarian, repressive, and normative?



OC is based on ryan as the main clue character, everything is centered on him, most of the things outside Orange County are related to his birthplace chino, GG is based on S as the main clue, all the plots revolve around Occurs on or next to S. Most of OC's episodes did not take place on campus, while most of GG's episodes happened on campus, or a continuation of campus events. The most important thing is that all events of GG are subject to a campus voice - GossipGirl's public opinion judgment, this is OC None.



Next, let's talk about the characters. OC's marissa first appeared in the image of a beautiful girl. Later, as the family problems became more and more chaotic, she first thought impulsively that she could give luke her body in exchange for luke's love for her. Loyalty, on the contrary, brought her even more pain, later oliver, and later XXXX... more and more chaotic, her boyfriend became less and less popular, and people couldn't understand and sympathize, Family chaos often brings a chaotic life and even a chaotic life to the children, and on the way of M's depravity, R has an inescapable responsibility, and only he can save M.

And GG's S was very chaotic at the beginning. When the audience knew her, she had become a good child who knew her mistakes and could correct her mistakes, but she still had to bear the consequences of her previous mistakes. Difficult, but also let people see the firmness of S. In terms of personality, S is much stronger than Marissa. S is sober and already knows what to do with herself. Maybe M is the old S. If it wasn't for the death of M Xiangxiaoyu at the end of the third season of OC, I am afraid that M There will also be a day of S, but unfortunately the audience can't see it.



I watched GG first and then OC. I wonder if those friends who watched OC first and then GG would think that there is a shadow of seth on Dan? Tang Seng is endless, a typical representative of chatter, but D knows what to do better, which is one of the reasons why I say GG is better than OC in reasoning, GG children know what they are doing and why. , and OC's are at a loss.

OC's ryan and GG's dan don't have much in common except that they're not the kind of rich kids. Although dan is not a rich boy, he has received a good formal education since he was a child. Although the father of a rock star is out of breath Yes, but it is definitely not a chaotic family in the slums. Although they are also divorced parents, the parents still love their children very much. In comparison, D is much happier than R.

The reason why seth does not have the consciousness of D is probably because of the rich son. If not for the guidance of his Jewish father, Sandy, who was born in poverty, I am afraid that seth will also develop in an unknowable direction. Of course, heredity is very important. It is said that sandy and chirsten are not only exemplary couples, but also exemplary parents. Children will always imitate the way and thinking of adults unconsciously.



OC's summer, I like it so much, it's playful and cute, I really appreciate this kind of girl, and GG's QueenB also hides summer's "gene". B's family is very similar to luke's in OC. Both fathers are gay, but it gives the impression that the blow of homosexuality is definitely not as big as the blow of marissa's mother's constant disappointment and distrust of her, as long as parents let their children feel them Love, the child's psychology should have some comfort. I like to be naughty, capricious, cute, naive... and girls with upright qualities. They must have a certain degree of character, they must distinguish the situation, and stop in moderation. Otherwise, they will change from recruiting pain. Getting annoying.



In fact, I think GG is more mature than OC, and has a better grasp of speed and rhythm, but it may be because it is less chaotic and misses the attention of many people. Many people still want to look for excitement when watching TV series, but I don't like it. I I feel that TV dramas and movies need to relax first, and secondly, for deep thinking, to understand some truths through film and television. Of course, there are still many people who are in conflict with GG because they watched OC first. They feel that the plot is similar, and they have formed a preconceived idea. Haha, the two TV series have their own characteristics, and they are both good series, radish. Everyone loves cabbage.
