Period Drama with good ending...?

Hi, i would like to ask everyone who watch period dramas for help. I feel like watching something from this genre, but i REALLY HATE bad endings. That is maybe why i usually dont watch period dramas - cause they almost always end up sadly.
So, if you know some historical drama with good ending, could you please recommend me some? Good ending does not necessarily means wedding and living happy ever after ^_^ Non dead main characters would be enough (or at least some hope, that they are still alive).

Dramas that i already watched and liked:
Sunkyunkwan scandal, Capital Scandal, Tamra Island.

Re-linking Chuno - http://www.mydramalist.com/front/dramalist-ajax.php?dramaid=319

Also, will someone tell me if Queen Seon Deok (sp?) has a happy or sad ending. And by happy, I'll go by the same definition as Petra. No dead main (good) characters. It always kills me when the main characters, or important supporting characters, die.

yeah ive noticed that period dramas tend to have sad endings. Man i wanted to watch Chuno but now i know it has a sad ending=( ah i still wanna watch though! LOL. Im also meaning to watch Hong Gil Dong but what do you mean by bad ending? is it sad?

All I can recommend is Iljimae with Lee Jun Ki. It's the only period drama I've watched all the way to the ending, and that's really really saying something. It can make me cry at times, but no lead characters die. However that is up for debate. Still watch it!

That sucks, cause I happened to look up that drama and it looked REALLY good. But I really dislike sad endings. That's too bad.... :(

Its just that i cant watch drama, where i would fall in loive woth characters, who are gonna die in the end. It soooo frutrating.
Btw thanks for recommendations, i added Iljimae to my watch list. I would just LOVE TO watch Hong Gil Dong, cause there are all my favourite actors, but i just cant. It would be too sad :(
Why Why why? They have to do this to us, viewers?

even though QSD has a sad ending (?) (I don't think it's sad that she dies of old age or sth like that), this drama is the most interesting & awesome historical drama I've seen till now ^^ (with a sad ending lol) but you know why the endings are sad (all the characters die) cuz it's a historical drama...they are not supposed to be alive...they are in the past...plus the drama is about someone's life..from beginning till the end ^^ I'm watching SKKS now...it's just awesome,funny, interesting ^^ I still have to finish Iljimae cuz after I read that he dies, I stopped lol...but now that I know the ending is opened, I'll definitely finish it cuz it's awesome <3 Jewel in the palace was awesome too^^ for now I'm staying with short historical dramas...had enough of QSD & Jewel in the palace lol ^^
