Picspam: Gossip Girl VS Hana Yori Dango

Jun 30, 2009 03:02

SO! I've been planning to do this picspam since last year but have been too lazy to get around to it. And sort of rightly so, as it took me FOREVER. But now, it is completed in all of it's glory so that everyone can acknowledge that Gossip Girl is truly American Hanadan.

From what i read/saw this is quite amusing, however I am only in season 1 of GG so i don't want to many spoilers revealed.

My friends who got me into GG got me to watch it by saying how similar it was to HYD and we all agree how Chuck is like Tsukasa.

This proves that America would (and basically does) love HYD. Whenever anyone brings up the US doing an Americanversion of HYD peopel say it would never happend. Well it basically has!!

Thanks for putting a lot of effoert into this, quite amusing. I actually thought it was 1 of my frinds who did it at 1st.

Thanks! Yea, I'd hate to spoil you for anything in GG, half the fun is from the OMFG moments. :)

My friends who got me into GG got me to watch it by saying how similar it was to HYD and we all agree how Chuck is like Tsukasa.
HAHA! That's awesome! I'm always surprised by how many other people see the GG/HYD comparison. Chuck and Tsukasa are like the same person only Chuck knows how to deal with the ~ladies~ and Tsukasa thinks he has to marry Tsukushi because they took a nap together. Hee!

Whenever anyone brings up the US doing an Americanversion of HYD peopel say it would never happend. Well it basically has!!
RIGHT? LOL! I love all the discussions about if they did an American remake of Hanadan. It would be Gossip Girl, basically. Also this just proves that EVERY country loves Hanadan. It is universal.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! Obviously your friends also have insane minds good taste in TV. :P

LOL I always liked to say that Gossip Girl reminded me of shoujo manga, with bitchy people running the school and making life difficult for the protagonist. I've only read Hana Yori Dango and I've never actually seen the show but clearly you are correct in comparing the two- this picspam is a glorious thing. Domyouji and Chuck Bass are like the same person.

It's so true! Gossip Girl really is very shoujo manga-like. You know if it was a shoujo manga, Chuck and Nate would be continually covered in sparkles though. (Chuck would love that.)

I've never actually read the Hanadan manga, probably because I love the jdrama far too much. I did see the Korean version but didn't really care for it too much. Chuck and Domyouji are seriously the same person. If Chuck Bass was lame with the ladies and functionally illerate he would totally be Domyouji. I really want someone to write me crossover fic where they go shopping now.

(Chuck would love that.)Okay, that made me snort out loud, because it is so totally true. I know I'm over-commenting, but I've started watching Gossip Girl because of this. Granted, the "oh hey casual sex!" thing in Gossip Girl does not thrill me, but the whole sheer train wreck aspect of it is fricking hysterical. Can I just say that Chuck is fantastic? I mean, yeah, he's a manipulative jerk, but he's honest about being a manipulative jerk. Mostly. In the 8 eps I've seen so far. He's just so gleefully transparent that it's hard to really hate him. Yes, even after the first episode. And it seems like the actor that plays him has such fun with it, which is awesome. And the part in the eighth one where he's like "it wasn't even that great" to Blair and his face is so lost... I just... wow. Need a lot of help. In real life, I would be running from this guy as fast as I could ( ... )

HAHA OMG YES! I'm so proud of myself that I'm getting people to watch both shows. Oh man, the trainwrecky aspect of the show it totally what got me hooked. And the 8th episode is totally one of my favorites in terms of both Chuck/Blair stuff and Chuck being an adorable creepster.

I know! He's just so over the top in everything he does that he's just too insane to hate. He's just hilarious. Ed Westwick is my favorite, the character could have been way more ~srsbsns~ if played by the wrong person but he just rolls with the crack.

In real life, I would be running from this guy as fast as I could.That would be a super wise decision. Also never eating or drinking anything he gives you for fear of ruffies. I love how in the 7th episode Blair hands Chuck her drink when she's about to go dance all "Watch my ( ... )

Okay I've never seen Hanadan but after this and after reading your commentary, I MUST WATCH IT! This really brightened up the rather crappy day I've been having thus far! Thanks for this! Fantastic picspam!

mojotastic June 30 2009, 18:02:37 UTC

Hanadan really is a MUST WATCH. It's amazing in it's level of awesome and crack and cracky awesomeness.

I'm glad the healing powers of Chuck and Domyouji's ~fashion~ brightened up your day!

sionnach_liska June 30 2009, 18:30:16 UTC

I'm definitely going to have to find it then! I love those types of shows!!!

IT DID! WHO KNEW THAT COULD HAPPEN! That icon is also full of win. <3

PS: Do you mind if I friend you? We seem to have a few things in common and I always love to friend other Harry/Hermione fans. :)

mojotastic June 30 2009, 19:42:28 UTC

Me too! That's probably how I ended up loving both HYD and GG.

Yay! Thanks! I love this icon, my friend made it for me and it is full of truth. :)

No prob! I always need more sane H/Hr fans.

Ah I loved it so much, thank you<3

I think the Jap version of HYD is soooo much better than the taiwanese and korean version, you should check it out if you have time :)

mojotastic June 30 2009, 18:04:13 UTC

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

Oh I totally agree. The Japanese version is my favorite drama by FAR. I didn't really like the Korean version, despite the fact that I watched it this year. And I've only ever watched the first five or so episodes of the Taiwanese version because the acting/production vaules were a little to bad for me.
