Did you tell him that it was based on a Korean drama series? At least I think that was where it originally started.

I agree with this, it seems to be a trend in anime. Tenjou Tenge (another martial arts anime) does the exact same thing and cuts off when the real story is just about to begin.
I recall the anime Claymore had to divert from the manga in the final few episodes.
Diversions from the manga seem to be kind of regular. Prince of Tennis had the Seigaku face off against a completely different team at one point and the only way I knew about it was that there were extra characters I had never seen in the DS game I bought later on. I personally don't mind that as they've just taken a different route to a similar conclusion. However, just stopping mid-story (Initial D does this too) is infuriating. Come to think of it, Prince of Tennis kind of does that and so does Slam Dunk as they stop just before the Nationals. I now expect Area no Kishi to do the same...
