Looking for romance where the wealthy H goes to live a poor man's life with the h, and loves it!
I was watching the Korean drama Boys over Flowers the other day, which is about a wealthy business heir falling for a plucky poor girl. He's grown up in extreme wealth and is powerful beyond measure, but he has a cold and distant mother and no love at home. There is a wonderful episode where he goes to spend a weekend at the poor girl's apartment where she lives with her parents and little brother; they eat a poor meal but all the while are laughing and having fun, they all pitch in to make kimchi together, eat cheap street food, and go to the public bathhouse to wash... the H is such a fish out of water, but is spellbound by the h's close, loving family life. He comes to realize he is happier crammed all together in one family room with them than he would be in his mega mansion with nothing but the servants for company.
I need more of this sort of thing in my life! So many rich man poor girl romances have her being whisked away from her poor lifestyle to live the rich life, lavished with luxuries and given the 'good life'. I am hoping there also exists the reverse, where the rich guy comes to the realization that he would rather escape it all to live a modest life with the h instead.

I recommend you track down some of the Japanese version Hana yori dango with inoue Mao.
As for rich guy poor girl dramas, it is pretty trope especially in kdrama. Have you tried strong woman bong soon? The drama is a little wtf, especially toward the end, but it carries off the trope well.
I see Strong Woman Bong Soon is on Netflix here in the UK so I'm absolutely going to watch it next! Thank you :D
