Round line join?

I'm trying to draw a simple L-shaped line with a rounded join, like this:

I use the pen tool to draw the basic L shape. When I look under Contents > Shape > Stroke, I see that there is a setting for Line Join = Round Join, but choosing that doesn't alter the line at all. I'm guessing there's some simple way to turn a sharp corner into a rounded corner, but I can't seem to find it... Can anyone help?

it will round the join but if you have no bezier handles it will look like this:

if you want a curved corner, you can create 2 vertices before and after the corner and use the bezier handles with the convert vertex tool (pen tool+alt key). like this:
