Was the best romantic comedy until...

The first episode immediately draws you in. It's the best romantic comedy you've ever seen up until the angst begins, then it becomes another beast. There are two episodes that are just two different conversations between the main characters, about why she lied about being a robot, and you feel the pain and then there is a lot of narcissism coming from the male lead... tell me about me, blah blah. Everyone seemed to be shouting and justifying their bad behaviour and after all that everything is forgiven and everyone is happy. I wish it had kept the brilliance of the beginning and continued with that before heading into melodrama territory and a saccharine ending which benefitted no one. There is no written law that a drama series has to be stretched to 16 episodes, this formula is not always for the best.
On the plus side, all the characters were great and gave good performances. The male lead has a winning smile and has good chemistry with FL. I love the humour and story at the beginning. For some reason it reminded me of The Goonies & Ghostbusters!
