Watching the lives of Manhattan’s elite, we all wanted to be rich like them. Living in penthouses and suites and being chauffeured in black car service. Who can say no to that? I certainly won’t. But what we don’t realize is that none of their lives are hunky-dory. For you see, it’s clear that money can’t buy happiness or in this case love between any of the main characters or that their careers are just as panicky as the rest of us. Sure, they are 10 steps ahead of the ladder – but for them to prove themselves is just as difficult as the rest of us. Serena is on a constant search for self-worth. She is branded as the It Girl where things just come to her which makes her less respectable. On the other hand, Chuck has constant battles with his inner demons – wanting to make a name on his own turf while battling what’s right and wrong. Blair and Nate – well – they are figuring out that true happiness comes from within and not what society’s expectations are or dare I say, trust fund. Dan and Jenny – in order to be like the rich – they had to lose much more of themselves than they wanted.
