Sandalwoodbox did a series of 3 vids for Nirvana in Fire which all strongly fit this theme I think:
Blackbirds by sandalwoodbox is a vid for Cai Quan and Shen Zhui who are ministers in the Court (they're named and have dialogue lines but their plots revolve around the main characters/political machinations). https://archiveofourown.org/works/35037592
9 to 5 by sandalwoodbox might be too far into background character territory as this is a vid looking at background/minor characters/extras, the every-day people trying to live their lives while main characters and plot happen around them https://archiveofourown.org/works/34682788
