YMMV / Love Me Licia

• Awesome Music: Some of the Bee Hive's songs, despite the Narm and simple lyrics, are musically valid. The talented Enzo Draghi providing Go's singing voice also helps. See here.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: The members of the Bee Hive band. In the anime and this show's first season, only Go and Satomi were important in the story, with the other three being satellite characters. Due to their popularity with fangirls, this series starts to focus on the other members of the band since the second season.
• Memetic Mutation: "Fettine Panate", taken from an absurdly forced and cheesy dialogue which involves Licia (Yakko) promising Mirko (Go) and Andrea (Hashizo) to cook "fettine panate" (breaded cutlets) for them, and the three characters repeating those two words several times, see the entire scenes here.
• Moe: Yakko, even more than her anime counterpart, which is quite an accomplishment for an Italian show. In this series, her sweetness is exaggerated even more (even losing her mild Tsundere traits she had in the anime), and she also gets a Girliness Upgrade, always wearing cute and colored doll-like dresses in later seasons, while her anime counterpart was much more of a Shorttank. Even more so when she sings one of her sugary-sweet songs...
• Narm: Most of the show, due to the extreme sappiness. Other examples include:
  • The Bee Hive are supposed to be a rock band, but their music is mostly made of pop love songs along with some romantic ballads. All their songs are written by Alessandra Valeri Manera, who is mostly known for writing the theme songs of cartoons for kids.
  • Hashizo having a cartoonish falsetto voice may work for the anime, since it was typical for cartoon children to be dubbed this way. But him having the same voice in a live action show sounds just ridiculous. Made it even funnier since Hashizo's voice actor is the late Paolo Torrisi, who will later become the Italian voice of Son Goku.
• Suspiciously Similar Song: In the first season, some of the Bee Hive songs are blatant copies of their songs from the anime, especially ''Broken Heart'' (which sounds a lot like ''Freeway'') and Nel Grande Cielo Blu (which sounds a lot like Lonely Boy). Averted from season 2 onwards, as they had to come up with different songs for this show.
• Sweet Dreams Fuel: To old viewers, the innocent and fairytale atmosphere is part of the show's appeal. To some recent viewers, the forced sweetness, vapid conversations, and the show's entire setting come off as so plastic to the point of being creepy.
