Joy of Life Season 2! The Cdrama legend HITS with another BANG!

Even with some cast changes, the transition from season 1 to season 2 was almost, and I emphasize on the word 'almost' perfect.

It's been around 5 years and I was kinda expecting season 2 to be a little awkward cuz time does change things a lot but thankfully the vibe and the essence were still true to the season 1.

After a disappointing sequel for the Korean sensation Chronicles of Arthadal, I was more or less expecting a somewhat sub par sequel from Joy of Life. However I was wrong and it made me really happy to see this sequel being true to it's core.

Another excellent sequel, even with some characters not being able to make the show. A solid and hard to beat 9.5 from me.

A FLAWED MASTERPIECE

Hmm.. it's such a strange drama. A weird drama. WHY?

Well, I always thought that with bad writing, the story will be very difficult to follow. But I was wrong. Very very wrong.

The last 3 episodes had one of the most MEDIOCRE writing I've ever witnessed in my days of watching kdramas ever.

However, the PERFORMANCE of the cast and STORY was just too good to make this drama a BAD one. So much so...that I'm EMBARASSED to say that it's a good drama that was WORTH the time to watch.

This drama reminded me of the past Kdramas that used to air back in the day. Dramas where the rich 'chaebol' ML falls in love with a 'cinderella' kinda FL and then loses his memory and so on. What they did here was just a gender swap but the execution of it was so good.

MAYBE we need to bring in the VINTAGE stuff back. However, with proper execution and BETTER writing (Emphasis on this tho).

A solid 9.0 from me. A hugely FLAWED drama but still a MASTERPIECE
