I felt the same way about Still Star-Crossed -- mediocre show but nonetheless deserved better than it got, and I would have really liked to see Rosaline and Benvolio get a full story!
Anyway I am now going to take a moment again to talk about Cha Song-joo from Capital Scandal -- my first and most beloved exposure to the kdrama trope of 'gisaeng by day, revolutionary assassin by night,' incredible at all three of her jobs of a.) recruiting the heroine of the show into the revolution and becoming her beloved mentor, b.) being in a star-crossed pining romance with her childhood love who now works for the Police and is constantly forced to Interrogate her about her Activities, and c.) and perhaps most importantly being the hero's constantly trolling best friend in one of the most amazing male-female platonic best friendships I've ever seen in a kdrama or indeed any show. Unfortunately, but her show came out in 2007 and she was a sex worker who murdered several people onscreen; perhaps if the show had come out in 2023 she would not have died an infuriating death in the penultimate episode.
