There are several other couples in dramaland that have worked together at least three times. I'll list them above…
In Mare Kento and Tao were the main characters, not supporting. (Tao was literally Mare.) As to your other points, we'll just have to wait and see if we've forgotten anyone else. (But I also would disagree with not counting a sequel as a drama and not counting a film, but ultimately it doesn't really matter.)
Here are some other folks who have worked together as the main couple at least three times: *Yamazaki Kento and Tsuchiya Tao (Mare, Orange, Alice in Borderland and Alice in Borderland 2 when it comes out in Dec.) *Xing Zhao Lin and Liang Jie (they've worked together four times! You Are My Destiny, and The Eternal Love 1, 2, & 3)
I feel like there is a Taiwanese couple that's worked together at least three times, but I'm not remembering them right now. I'm excited for the Jang Hyuk/Jang Na Ra pairing though!
I remember reading somewhere she said it's because she can't write romance
I think it's because she doesn't want to. She's been quoted as saying: “I want to do science fiction in the future, not romantic comedies.” Let her do what she's best at.

It was the strangest list! I was also appalled that Benedict wasn't at number one, but I did learn a lot about all the different adaptations for the last hundred years! (And I still need to watch both Japanese adaptations as well.)
I honestly don't understand the negative comments about this film - it's frickin' beautifully written, acted, and filmed and is a very important and timely addition to other LGBTQ+ media being produced around the world at this moment. There's also no reason to draw too many comparisons to its prequel because these characters are not the same people they were much earlier - obviously. We get to know who they are right now, which is more important. And while there might not be fanservice and skinship every five minutes, the characters deeply love each other (that's obvious), they are there for one another when it matters, and they plan their lives around each other. Do they make mistakes? For sure...and they pay for them, in various ways. I believe that this film is ultimately about the ways we can atone for the selfish mistakes we make in our lives and how they affect those around us. But, (and this is big,) sometimes the mistakes that humans make are because the societies that they're in do not have their best interests at heart, and do not allow for folks to live fully into who they are, (and that includes issues around both gender and sexuality.) This film gets ten stars from me, and I hope more people watch it.
