10. The King: Eternal Monarch

10 dramas in which FL moves to a new place, optionally small town/cheap neighborhood after some traumatic events, changes her style to simpler one, etc. 

And at some point in drama for a while she returns to her previous style, put on some fancy clothes, has her hair done, all that. Maybe meet people from her past

It should be in the present days, not flashback

1. When the Weather Is Fine - after scandal at work FL goes to her mom's hometown, we see her being stylish again at school reunion event

2. Mad at Each Other - FL moves to ML's neighborhood and looks and acts like a typical town crazy. We see her as her past self when she has a meeting with her ex's mom

3. If I Can Love You So

After divorcing popular pianist ML Jiang Mochi iirc (Tong Da Wei) right after he decided to aborted their child to save FL (Liu Shishi)'s life, FL went back to her hometown for quite some time but later remarry ML after all misunderstandings being cleared.

4. Welcome to Samdalri

International photographer -> Bully -> Back to hometown -> Dried fish -> Dating old flame -> Clearing name -> International Photographer

5.Doona -FL takes a break from her idol job to live with normal varsity students. She was pretty casual compared to her lifestyle as a celebrity when she moved  back to resume  her life or meet people people in that world.

6. The Vineyard Man - FL starts and finishes as a fashion designer in Seoul but very traumatically for her needs to get her inheritance in a small town vineyard.

These may or may not work:

7. Will Love in Spring - FL leaves home, works in the big city, gets good at her job, lives the life, returns home for reasons I cannot quite remember, stays for a time, goes back to the big city then possibly returns to home. Sorry for being vague, it is both because I cannot quite remember and I don't want to spoil things.

8. Business Proposal - 2FL leaves her fathers house to rent. It isn't a dive, perhaps just a little less grand, possibly simpler (though she now has to deal with managing her house by herself) abode.

9? Hometown Cha Cha Cha - FL arrive to a coat village with a plan to open a dental clinic there and of course she has a rough time at first. though I don't remember if she  went back to the big city or not so not sure if it counts...

10. My Sunshine

After her fake husband (who FL married in USA iirc to be able to adopt her friend/neighbor's son because that friend was serving jail time after killing her own violent husband) tried to sleep with her while being drunk, they lived separately and eventually divorced after her friend being released and then she went back to mainland China. She then met this ex-husband by chance in her alma mater after he lead a seminar and another meet by chance during dinner on the same day together with her tsundere second husband.


The next person can choose the next topic.

This one fits,  she returns to her previous self when leads go to golf

I didn't ask for getting back to their past life/big city

Just get dressed as they used to :) 

10 sports movies/dramas where the focus is actually the sport. For example: the title doesn't side track from the sport aspect to focus on romance or a murder mystery or whatever lol 😅

2. Falling into your smile
It does have romance, but I didn't see it as central since the focus on the matches, tournaments and team's dynamics stays the main source of suspense and tension throughout the drama. 

3. Nothing but You 

4. Amidst a Snowstorm of Love
