WHY?
The plot had me questioning things constantly. How does she get away with going out with her guards so often? And more importantly, why does the Crown Prince never seem suspicious about any of it? Apparently, everyone in this palace has decided not to ask questions.
The whole Shiyi situation made even less sense. The condition for saving him was that he had to consummate with a woman. So when he was found safe, why didn't the Crown Prince ask a single question about how exactly that happened? That's not exactly a minor detail you casually forget about.
I think the actors actually acted better after the body swap. The male lead's feminine mannerisms were genuinely on point. He really nailed the way she moved and behaved. The female lead was also good at the aloof expressions, although her laugh was... incredibly awkward. Every time she laughed, I felt like I was watching someone who had been given the instruction “Now laugh naturally” and had absolutely no idea what that meant.
As for the cast overall, the main leads were average, while most of the supporting cast were just... bad. There were a few enjoyable performances, but nobody really made me think, Wow, this actor is carrying the drama.
And then we have that ending.
Whatever the fuck that was.
I genuinely don't know what they were trying to accomplish there. After everything, the ending felt so bizarre and unsatisfying that I was left staring at the screen wondering whether I there were more episodes
Overall, How to Train Your Killer wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good either. It had some fun moments, but the plot holes, questionable character decisions, average performances, and absolutely unhinged ending made it a very “well, at least I finished it” kind of drama.
