Just finished ep 3. Each ep is 60 min, roughly 25% more than the original. So the 44 ép end up around 35 eps.

Ok so I’m on episode 3 of JOL special Edition. I see they replaced the whole beginning scene where he’s writing a story to modern day him dying and born into ancient time. They may have expanded the fighting scene with the baby inside the basket, cut out the scene where uncle drops him off at Gandma’s house and we miss the whole explanation of his name, cut off some scenes of the guard’s background in ep 3. Some of the wordplays have been lost but some have better translated into English.

Anyone know if there’s different content between special edition Jol and reg jol?

Viki has better translations

What’s this joy of life special edition that just dropped?

Ok, maybe I’ll hang a bit more since you have some good points

It’s def. A great drama. I was able to play the ost ôm spotify

Was is shelved for a while? It seems out of touch.

Same here..but….sigh…. I’m finding myself searching for an older better series to watch. Heck, I’d watch Joy of Life again but I’ve already watched it twice back to back not long ago.

I just finished Will Love in Spring which I enjoyed so much. I had high hopes for this but it’s been underwhelming especially coming after the other drama. I like the lead actors but story, chemistry, character development is making it difficult to continue.

The way I interpret it is that, regardless of where they will be, they will choose to be together because life is too short and unpredictable.

Haha… I’ll see. Maybe if I’m not engrossed in another drama

Such a touching and heartfelt drama so far. I love how it takes the time and care to portray the various relationships and struggles. We can see the beautiful decades long bestie friendship between grandma and ms Li and how they grapple with the imminent reality that all of us will one day face. We see the push and pull between mom and kids who clearly love each other but struggle with their roles and expectations of each other. And of course, we see romantic love blossoming or bursting - with all the emotions that comes along when two individuals, each with their own set of baggage, learn how to work it out. So beautiful.

Hahaha…I’m eagerly waiting translated ep 22. So I’m in the same boat.

I have to admit WML who plays Wei Dai Qing is such a good actor. I was so sad when his character died in Warmth on a Cold Night and here he’s such an unscrupulous, envious, ruthless, ambitious sycophant.

Yes! Express I believe.

Convo between ml and his brother on the way to the train station reveal that it’s because WDQ has someone more powerful backing him. Otherwise he would not dare take the steps he did given his lower position.

This is why I’m thinking of dropping this. Can’t do tragedy. Too sad.

What! Really! Wow… did not recognize her and enjoyed both alien series

Very enjoyable drama. Everything seem to have been addressed except the maid and the security guard’s relationship. Although they are there mainly for comic relief. I agree that cast was wonderful. Everyone acted very well.
