I don't know if I can say I completely agree. The fact that they broke up was a definite TV Trope, if not a cliche. The way they broke up? Only slightly cliche. The misunderstanding was the cliche bit, the debate between being best friends vs. dating wasn't that cliche. There is a certain risk in dating a friend, so I appreciated the way it happened. If HHA and DHA are any indication, I do like them better as friends while the series is running, though, anyway. I'm fairly indifferent about the rest. I've known girls like Joy and girls like Amber. It may be slightly more dramatic, but there are people like that in life, so I think it's fine to have them act that way on the show. (Though I do think severely mistreats is a bit of an exaggeration.) You make some interesting points, though.
