Based on the popular book series of the same name written by Cecily von Ziegesar, “Gossip Girl” follows seven teens as they try to cope with squishy relationships, which are always dramatic, at the same time making the best choice concerning the college. Thanks to their wealthy parents, Blair Waldorf and her friends, Isabel Coates and Kati Farkas, attend the high school and fancy parties.

Blair has the perfect boyfriend and intends to follow Yale. She seems to have the perfect life, arousing her rivals’ envy.

While everyone is taken up with studies, Blair’s best friend, Serena van der Woodsen, unexpectedly returns to New York after a long absence while she supposedly attended a boarding school in Connecticut. Step by step, Serena goes into her routine having a strong impact on Blair’s perfect life. After all, if you are wealthy, you’re not necessarily free from trouble.

Excepting the Upper East Side elite, the show also focuses on Brooklyn outsiders Dan, Jenny and Rufus Humphrey and their ties to the rich. Maybe they are incomparably happy with their simple life, bare of exuberance.

But… “You’re nobody until you’re talked about.”
