* BaseBreakingCharacter: Brando is a big one. He he has fans who find him cute, understandable, and ship him with Fabio, while other fans despise how unrepetant he often is about completely destroying the reputations of his former victims and find him an UnintentionallyUnsympathetic portrait of an ArmoredClosetGay. It helps that his actor already had several Italian fangirls due to his previous role in the series ''Braccialetti Rossi.''

Added DiffLines:

** Chiara's Mother was more sympathetic early on with her AwfulWeddedLife and still being a caring mother to Chiara, but by season 3 her sudden ItsAllAboutMe political aspirations turned many more viewers off and lost nearly all good will after [[spoiler: she sold out Ludovica to be publicly outed as a prostitute to save her family's reputation]].
* SeasonalRot: Season 3 got more divisive, a lot of it having to do with the writing especially in regards to how it treated some of the cast, with some more contrived plot-lines as well as characters who became either too inconsistient in their motivations or seemed to be rewritten entirely for the third season (Camilla and Chiara's mother (as well as some would say Chiara herself) definitely suffered from this).

* {{Squick}}: Much of the sex in the show intentionally evokes this, considering a majority of it is older clients soliciting underage prostitutes. More controversial, though, is Nicola's and Monica's affair.

to:

* RonTheDeathEater: Damiano got hit with the DesignatedVillain tag in season 3, which again likely has a lot to do with the reasons mentioned above, mainly in those who blamed him for [[spoiler: getting Chiara and Ludovica publicly outed despite the PI leading him to believe he could safely get them out of Fiore's control by helping them spy on his secret apartment without it going public... while they explicitly don't tell him when they use the photographic evidence to extort Chiara's parents, which is what sets off the chain of events to Ludovica and eventually Chiara's involvment in the prostitution ring going public.]] He still takes flak for that, despite it him being naive rather than intentionally malicious.

* DracoInLeatherPants: Fans have loved Niccolò and shipped him with Chiara a long time before he got his CharacterDevelopment. In the first two seasons, he's the BigJerkOnCampus who cheats on his girlfriend with many girls, acts like a possessive CrazyJealousGuy to Chiara, is openly homophobic, vandalizes the headmaster's office while letting Damiano take the blame, bullies unpopular students, and harasses prostitutes for fun... but fans are willing to overlook all of this because he's played by a very handsome actor.

* DoNotDoThisCoolThing: The show, as noted below, has been controversial for it's fictionalized depicition of the real-life prostitution scandal.

to:

* StrangledByTheRedString: The last season introduces a new girl named Aurora who has the only purpose of [[spoiler: being paired with Damiano. This was probably done to make it even more clear that Damiano and Chiara will never get back together, and Chiara may have her MaybeEverAfter with the fan-favorite Niccolò.]]]]
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyCharacter: In season 1, Camilla starts out as Chiara's best friend, who is flawed but not a completely negative character, and has a prominent role. In the following seasons, she's much more OutOfFocus, her personality is inconsistent in her very few scenes, and doesn't even get a closure like the other protagonists. She's not even in the final.

Added DiffLines:

* AbandonShipping: Ludovica and Fiore. While their relationship was always toxic (since he is her pimp), many fans liked them in season 1, when Fiore was more of an AntiVillain who genuinely cared for Ludovica. However, in season 2 and 3, Fiore becomes more villainous and the show makes it clear that there's nothing positive about their relationship.


Added DiffLines:

* EvilIsSexy: Fiore is a villain, who is quite attractive and gets MrFanservice moments in his scenes with Ludovica.

Added DiffLines:

* DracoInLeatherPants: Fans have loved Niccolò and shipped him with Chiara a long time before he got his CharacterDevelopment. In the first two seasons, he's the BigJerkOnCampus who cheats on his girlfriend with many girls, acts like a possessive CrazyJealousGuy to Chiara, is openly homophobic, vandalizes the headmaster's office while letting Damiano take the blame, bullies unpopular students, and harasses prostitutes for fun... but fans are willing to overlook all of this because he's played by a very handsome actor.

Added DiffLines:

* FanPreferredCouple: Chiara and Niccolò are this since the beginning. Even in season 1, when the plot is all about Chiara and Damiano falling in love with each other, while Niccolò is portrayed as a {{Jerkass}} and a RomanticFalseLead. This is possibly the reason why Niccolò gets CharacterDevelopment in later episodes, [[spoiler: and the last season ends with with a MaybeEverAfter between Niccolò and Chiara, after her breakup with Damiano.]]
* StrangledByTheRedString: The last season introduces a new girl named Aurora who has the only purpose of [[spoiler: being paired with Damiano. This was probably done to make it even more clear that Damiano and Chiara will never get back together, and Chiara may have her MaybeEverAfter with the fan-favorite Niccolò.]]
