Inganno

... is it possible, sure... is it likely, no ... these kinds of fantasy romance storylines having a limited audience.. reality making him a lot less pretty, and her a less haggard sixty (she's actually mid-sixties)... not they didn't do good work, they did... these choices were not of their doing

... speaking of choices, Denise Capezza was a right one.. a stunner, girl-just-cannot look-not-good (searching her still images, find one she's not the enchanter)... here in her mid-thirties, in her prime... (see 'more' of her in Baby 2018)

... outside of the delusion storyline the production's well put together, all the drone footage of the Italian coastline making up a sizable portion of all the episodes (what did they do filling screentime before drones)... the IMDb audience has the rating correct... a one-time-watch.

"Deceitful Love" was exactly what I needed-a well-timed guilty pleasure that let me escape from reality for a while. The story centers on Gabriella, a sophisticated hotel owner, who finds herself unexpectedly falling for Elia, a young and mysterious stranger. The age difference added a layer of complexity and tension to their romance, which I found fun to watch.

Giacomo Gianniotti, who plays Elia, absolutely captivated me. He is not just beautiful, but has this magnetic presence that pulls you into every scene. His chemistry with Monica Guerritore (Gabriella) was electric, and their love story, with all its ups and downs, felt intense, passionate, and sometimes a little dangerous.

Sure, some parts of the show felt over-the-top, but that's what made it such a fun ride. "Deceitful Love" doesn't aim to be perfect-it's here to entertain, and it does so in spades. The beautiful Amalfi Coast setting, the tangled relationships, and the unpredictable twists kept me hooked from start to finish.

If you're looking for a dramatic, sexy escape that doesn't take itself too seriously, "Deceitful Love" is definitely worth a watch.

I read the reviews prior to writing mine. I think i understand why the low reviews but from my behalf I think this is a worth watching mini series. Let's start from the obvious the music and the cinematography- views and overall production is really good. The plot makes you think how easy it is to lose yourself in the "norms" either of society or of the family and its dynamics and while living to conform and satisfy these life passes by and you lose yourself and don't live. By choosing the character a women's in her 60s that gets stronger by the episode the main connotations and concept is well projected in a gradual way that is built up episode by episode. All in all it's worth watching this series.

The story was interesting but the acting/dialogue needed much improvement. The main male character was a hunk!! He and the rest of the awesome scenery made the view worthwhile otherwise I probably wouldn't have persevered through the entire series.

There were a few "mysteries" in the story although they could have been developed a little further and most of them were eventually resolved.

Of course there had to be the token LBGQ+ sub story thrown in there which seems to almost a "requirement" these days. I guess it added a little to the story but I don't believe that it added much of any to the plot.

I did enjoy the way the story ended.

This is definitely a very soap opera-ish mini series but that's what makes it such a fun ride. It's about an older wealthy woman who is the owner of a luxurious hotel and happens to fall quickly in love with a man half her age. His intentions are incredibly questionable. Her grown children, particularly her eldest son, get involved and try to stop the relationship. Throughout the show, so many hidden family secrets are revealed. There are twists and turns everywhere, it is at times so over the top I couldn't help but laugh. Just when I thought I knew where things were going, another surprise would pop up. I binge watched this on a lazy Sunday and was pleasantly entertained!
