This could have been a cult classic - but alas!

This drama made me laugh, jump for joy, applaud the entire team, cheer them loudly, slap their backs, clasp my hands......what other expressions of happiness can I use?
Alas though - these feelings of exhilaration lasted only to episode 10 or 12.

After that it started rolling downhill so fast that only crashing against an iceberg could halt it and leave it broken and cracked.

Why why why do most leads in k dramas need to originate in orphanages?
Why did a cancer suffering mother come back to torture her child after destroying his childhood?
Are happy families so hard to find in this region?
Where are all the parents? Why do they all die? Is it so hard to be creative with living parents?
How come there is such finely developed romance but it never culminates in loving families?
What's the ratio of kids in orphanages? I read in the news that the country had banned foreigners from adopting their children.

This drama is so finely tuned with humor and slice of life details that I expected it to walk away with an unseen ending in the drama world.

Alas - the writer, director, screen play writer all seem to have lost their MOJO. The last few episodes are shabby, sorry and appalling in their positioning in this drama.

You had a fantastic product which could have reached the finish line with undisputed victory, yet you decided to go down the repetitive trodden path that was shabby and pathetic.
