Ah, it would be a square. Poor Bolin, he really got the short end of the stick. Being rejected, AND being reduced to the funny-guy archetype just after that. =/ And maybe I'm reaching for straws, I think that Bryke could have actually made the cliche more bearable had they given more thought into it (giving more foreshadowing as to how Korra gained a crush on Mako aside from recap exposition; having Mako actually apologize to Asami instead of "yeah, sorry we didn't work out", etc.)

Plus having a solid, obvious break-up between Asami and Mako. Something as simple as "Yeah, I guess we're over" would've sufficed, and would've been more blunt than a kiss on the cheek and an "I'll always care about you".

There was lots of debate over whether or not that was a defined break-up when it happened. Lots of people chose to see it as one, despite the complete and utter lack of clarity. Had a single obvious line been given, I probably would not have seen the whole ordeal as so cliche.

As far as the reason Korra liked/likes Mako, that's about as clear as the Mako and Asami break-up. You see her ogling Mako's abilities as a pro-bender, and there was some degree of chemistry between them in Bolin's rescue. But keep in mind--Asami liked Mako for almost the exact same reasons: She thought he was a talented pro-bender, and instead of rescuing his brother with him, Asami hit Mako with her moped and took him out to dinner.

There were ways to have romantic relationships without shafting characters like Bolin and almost breaking the Bechdel Test (after Bolin reveals to Asami that Mako kissed Korra, she seems to only associate Korra with the fact that she kissed Mako), but no writer can be perfect. Having romantic conflicts and not sacrificing some characters is challenging.

I think LOK is a mixed bag when it comes to feminism. On the one hand, the show does well in fleshing out its female characters, giving them personalities, conflicts, and having them actively contribute to the story. On the other hand, the show kind of diminishes this with the Korra/Mako/Asami love triangle, which is resolved rather untastefully (though I will say that Asami handeled the situation better than I'd expect; Mako on the other hand...)

You'd almost think that a show with a title suggesting it's about the main female character wouldn't make one of the major story arcs about a cliche. Saying the love triangle (Square? I mean there's Bolin, too) diminishes the feminist aspects is nearly an understatement.
