Ludovica finds a way to make money, when she starts throwing herself in the world of underage prostituton, and she draws Chara into it. Then the two girls start having their secret lives while struggling with high school drama at the same time. Chiara also starts drifting apart from her original best friend Camilla, in order to hang out with Ludovica, not helped by the fact that both Chiara and Camilla are attracted to Damiano, a troubled new student.

Age Lift: In real life, Angela and Agnese were 15 and 14, during the "Baby Squillo" scandal. In this show, Chiara and Ludovica are at least 16 years old in the first season, and Ludovica turns 18 in season 3. Also, Ludovica is based on Agnese (the younger of the two girls in real life), but in this show, she's older than Chiara.

comment
Gender-Equal Ensemble: In season 1, there are six main students, three girls (Chiara, Ludovica, Camilla) and three boys (Damiano, Fabio, and Niccolò). Season 2 and 3 avert this by having Brando (who was a Satellite Character in the first season) becoming one of the main students and Camilla being Demoted to Extra, so Chiara and Ludovica remain the only two female protagonists.

Adaptational Villainy: Chiara's mother, who is based on Angela's mother. Near the end of the show, there's an investigation in high school, to find out who is the girl involved in prostitution. When Chiara's mother finds out about the secret of Chiara and her friend Ludovica, she tells the school everything only about Ludovica, in order to save her family's reputation. In real life, Angela's mother called the police to figure out how her daughter suddenly came into a lot of wealth.

Out of Focus: Camilla gets much less focus after season 1. In season 3, she's so irrelevant that she doesn't even appear in the Grand Finale. To a lesser extent, Niccolò also gets less screen-time after season 1. In season 3, after he Took a Level in Kindness, he appears even less. Averted in the Grand Finale where he is seen helping Chiara.

Character Development: In the final season, Ludovica and eventually Chiara realize how much they've messed-up their lives and decide to quit prostitution. Most of the young characters become more sympathetic in season 3, the final season. Even Niccolò and Brando are no longer jerks, and learn to become better people.

Adaptational Heroism: Ludovica's mother, who is based on Agnese's mother. In this show, Ludovica's single mother is initially oblivious to her daughter's double life as a prostitute, and when she finds out, she's shocked and conflicted. And despite being irresponsible, she genuinely loves her daughter. In real life, Agnese's single mother pressured her to continue even when Agnese wanted to quit, because she needed more money after being left by her husband.

Even more so in season 3, when he manipulates her into running away with him.

Love Dodecahedron: Especially in season 1, we have multiple love triangles linking the characters Virginia/Niccolò/Chiara/Damiano/Camilla. Niccolò/Virginia and Damiano/Camilla are couples but both Niccolò and Damiano are secretly attracted to Chiara, who is romantically involved with both, though she prefers Damiano. It gets worse when Niccolò starts an affair with his teacher Monica, though he also gets back with Virginia, and still has feelings for Chiara.

However, Chiara's behavior goes darker as the show goes on, becoming more of a Good Bad Girl.

Surprisingly, Fabio becomes this to Ludovica in season 2 and 3, especially after their parents start dating. He's probably Ludovica's only real friend aside from Chiara (Damiano is nice to Ludovica, but they don't interact much). However, Fabio doesn't fit many stereotypes, but he's pretty much The Generic Guy, aside being gay and the principal's son.

Betty and Veronica: In season 1, Damiano is caught between Chiara and Camilla. Despite being the main character, Chiara is the Veronica (secretly rebellious, has a dark secret) to Camilla's Betty (more of a goody two-shoes). Niccolò is the Archie caught between his longtime girlfriend Virginia (Betty) and Chiara, a Good Bad Girl with whom he has a secret affair (Veronica). However, personality-wise, Chiara is a nice and studious girl (Betty) and Virginia is the Alpha Bitch (Veronica). Niccolò is also the Archie to his girlfriend Virginia (Betty) and his teacher and secret lover Monica (Veronica). Chiara herself is the Archie to Damiano's Betty and Niccolò's Veronica. It may look like the opposite, since Damiano is a problematic new student and drug dealer, while Niccolò is a cute Pretty Boy and the brother of Chiara's best friend. But Damiano is portrayed as the nicer love interest, and Niccolò as the Jerkass, at least in the first two seasons.

Ascended Extra: In season 1, Brando is a Satellite Character who only serves as Niccolò's equally jerkish friend. He has a larger role in season 2 and 3, when he has trouble accepting his homosexuality and attraction to Fabio, and we also learn more about his family, and his Jerkass father.

Karma Houdini: Downplayed with Ludovica. By the end of the show, the parents of both girls are considered unable to take care of them, after the whole prostitution scandal is revealed. In the finale, Chiara ends up in a group home because she's still a minor, while Ludovica is free to start a new life by herself, as she's now 18 years old. But Ludovica's mother ends up in jail and Ludovica herself suffers a lot throughout the show, since she had a real Freudian Excuse, unlike Chiara, who only wanted a more exciting life. Also, unlike Chiara, Ludovica had already decided to quit prostitution even before getting caught. In the first season, Niccolò vandalizes the headmaster's office and lets Damiano take the blame. Nobody has ever discovered what he did, aside from his sister. Damiano doesn't receive repercussions for drug dealing, working for Fiore, and accidentally killing Saverio (although Saverio deserved it). Brando doesn't receive much comeuppance for his horrible behavior in the first two seasons. While he changes a lot in season 3, he barely apologizes for his cruel actions towards Ludovica, Fabio, and Chiara. Even Fabio eventually forgives him. Gym teacher Monica has an affair with Niccolò, one of her students and a minor. While she eventually ends this affair, confesses to the principal, and leaves the school, she gets no legal comeuppance. Another teacher, Tommaso Regoli, initially tries to help Ludovica, since he knows she's involved in underage prostitution. But then he make a move on her, much to Ludovica's horror. While he feels guilty and later talks to Ludo's mother, he doesn't receive any comeuppance.

Odd Friendship
 Baby / int_a94eaaa4

Odd Friendship: Chiara and Ludovica. Chiara is an overachieving Class Princess from a rich family and has a "good girl" reputation (initially), Ludovica is an underachieving outcast from a poor family and has a "bad girl" reputation. Fabio and Damiano. Fabio is the meek son of the principal, Damiano is a more Street Smart boy due to his background. In later episodes, the dorky Fabio also becomes friends with the wild and rebellious Ludovica, after their parents start dating.

Maybe Ever After: Chiara and Niccolò. He becomes closer to her in the finale, as well as the only person who visits her in the group home in the last few scenes. While they don't get back together on screen, it's implied that there's still something between them.

Friendship Moment: Many of them between Chiara and Ludovica. When the school finds out that Ludovica is involved in prostitution, Ludovica runs away. To save her friend, Chiara ends up confessing on Instagram Live about her secret life along with Ludovica, and she even takes the blame with a It's All My Fault. Niccolò and Brando get one in season 3. Niccolò was very homophobic initially, but after Brando's Coming-Out Story becomes public, he decides to support his friend and apologizes for the way he acted in the past.

All Girls Want Bad Boys: Both Chiara and Camilla have a crush on Damiano, a troubled newcomer who grew up in the Wrong Side of the Tracks. Ludovica is romantically involved with Fiore, who is clearly a dangerous adult man.

Adaptation Name Change
 Baby / int_dc057cf3
comment
Adaptation Name Change: Chiara and Ludovica use the fake names "Emma" and "Desirée" in-universe with their clients. They are based on two girls who were referred to by the fake names Angela and Agnese in the news coverage (their true identities are unknown for protection). In this show, the pimps of the girls are Saverio and Claudio "Fiore" Fiorenzi. In real life, they had other names.

Gay Best Friend: Surprisingly, Fabio becomes this to Ludovica in season 2 and 3, especially after their parents start dating. He's probably Ludovica's only real friend aside from Chiara (Damiano is nice to Ludovica, but they don't interact much). However, Fabio doesn't fit many stereotypes, but he's pretty much The Generic Guy, aside being gay and the principal's son. In season 1, Fabio was a close friend of Chiara and Camilla, but the three drift apart in later episodes.
