I like that Luciano is still so loyal to his wife, even though she's no longer there. I can't believe there's only one episode left. I love this series. I'm glad to see though that we might get a conclusion to the Nicoletta & Claudio storyline.

I do have to laugh at how un-Italian the guys are in this series... widower Luciano is being propositioned by a hot, rich woman his age, and he turns her down out of memories? Yeah, sure - he'd lose his Italian citizenship, and all of the women would call him a "fifi". LOL

Sure, I realize that this is a shoujo series, and so the guys have to be "tragically romantic". Despite that, and despite the "Japaliano" characters, it is still fun to watch.

Being loyal or whatever has nothing to do with one's nationality.
Assuming that all men would do the same under the same conditions just because they're from one country goes under generlization.
There are faithful ones as well as cheaters.

I liked how dellusional that woman was. She thought he turned her down because she was married. It was a nice episode. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Uh, who is Luciano supposed to be "faithful" to? His wife has been dead for years.

I liked this episode...if only because of Nicoletta's monologue at the end restating the theme. I can't wait until next week for the finale. I think I'll bump this up to a 7.

I believe he is faithful to his love for his late wife. Just because someone is dead, the feelings people feel towards that person doesn't vanish as soon as someone dies.

Talk about a kick in the teeth for Luciano when Savina said "I must have behaved differently from a widow".

To put it quite frankly this episode: love is complicated.

That Savina woman is disgusting for thinking she has the right to touch people she knows nothing about and are practically strangers like that.

All of the guys are just insanely likeable.

Luciano truly behaved like a gentleman there and it's sweet that the unshared love for his wife even goes beyond death.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Luciano is a really pleasant character, and the fact that he still loves his wife after all these years is a nice touch. I liked this episode, and I'm looking forward to the season finale.
