I agree that they should have concentrated on Red and Mulan, rather than Red and Dorothy. I didn't mind that they were just friends, I actually really liked that in a show that is so heavily concentrated on romance.

They had chemistry and background. Dorothy dropped out of nowhere and they shoe-horned an lgbt+ realtionship into it. If they wanted an lgbt+ relationship they could have had Mulan and Red as friends, or in a romantic relationship that developed over time and had screen time and a proper story. If they wanted to do it properly they could have had Mulan as a lesbian and Red as bisexual- because it's just been left as to what Red's sexuality is (not that it's necessarily important to label that) BUT they would have to tread very carefully with that so as not to perpetuate negative stereotypes of bisexual people being promiscuous and overly sexualised.
