Good story and good acting. The Actors are into the character. The story keep us wonder and want to continue to watch it. Go to watch it now.

This drama is so good the acting is excellent. The story is not boring its addictive ive watched upto episode 9 on youtube keep checking everyday for a new episode. It has a bit of everything humour drama and romance dont think there is anybody who would not like this drama .

Really love the plot of this drama! So much twist, so much scheming. You thought and guessed one thing, what really happened is the other thing. Mindblowing! Once you get to the end, you will finally understand simple things which you take for granted before, like the meaning of the opening song, the hair accessories which I think is pretty unique for a historical drama, the modern cut/editing/transition. I love the cinematography of this drama too. The composition is neat. The lighting is pretty dramatic but still natural. Also love the costume. I notice that they differentiate the pattern for the different countries. Applause for all the actors too, great actings both from the senior and the junior actors. Really brought to life the interesting characters. I hope they wouldn't change any actor for season 2.

Awesome, entertaining show with a story that offers lots of surprises. Nice pacing with good balance of light & heavy-hearted segments, while engaging you to the end. A great cast who gave solid performance in both older and younger roles. You care about the characters and about what happens to them.

Beautiful costumes, beautiful hair & makeup (don't know how good they are until you've seen other lesser shows).

Well-executed martial art. I have watched gazillion martial art movies and TV series but there were fight scenes in Joy of Life that really impressed me.

I would have given it 9.5 stars if I could. Not 10 because the first 10/12 episode dragged at time. However, once you've passed that stage the story continues to get more intriguing and exciting.

Can't wait till Season 2 is up!

Even if you read the novel, you are not sure how the story unfolds. Scriptwriter adapted flexible, familiar fantasy story becomes new, charismatic to the last minute. Look forward to the sequel. However, this is not a romance, so don't rely on romantic scenes or chemical reactions between couples. Drama worth watching.
