Supremely cute and with an interesting story progression!  I really like reading about how this FL. Rather than avoiding the plot of the story, she just wants to guarantee that her sister - who is the original FL - avoids getting together with the more suspicious men amongst her love interests. She does everything under her power, short of murder or treason, to ensure that her sister ends up with a man who can respect her autonomy and person.  Some people have complained before that the FL acts too childishly sometimes, easily motivated by sweets and nap time despite being an adult in the body of the child. I think otherwise. It makes more sense for her to act like a child because she is in the body of one. Honestly, it would be a bit strange to see a child that didn't act mature before suddenly behave like an adult. Her childish tantrums and weakness for sweets are kind of endearing as long as we don't take it to heart. And not to mention we are blessed with men of good standing and personality. The sister's love interests are quite perceptive and are good options to choose from. I wonder who she'll end up with. Our own little FL gets her harem of children but they don't fall in love just yet. It's actually quite amusing because she doesn't see them as love interests because they're too young for her - which makes sense given that they're actual children. I'm not sure who she'll end up with so I want to see it pan out.  There's not much plot aside from the day to day interactions of the children and her quest to prevent the other MLs from making a pass at her sister. I think it's fine because there aren't a lot of chapters out just yet.  I really do find this manhwa to be a refreshing and entertaining read! Some people said that there will be tragedy later on and I am both parts eager and terrified.  Reviewed at Chapter 18.

Review ~ Chapter 40This is honestly so goodI frankly wasn't expecting this. I liked this novel so much that I'm even feeling pressure to do a good review to convince more people to give it a chance. So let's start with the differentials 1- The relationship with the sister is perfect, unlike most novels/webtoons where everyone who takes care of the mc is male. The father, the brother, and the male friends. No problem with that, just nice to see something different.2- Well written characters. I can't stress enough how much this helps. Cute scenes are cuter when the characters are well written, the same goes for romance, drama, etc. In addition, the dialogues and scenarios were very well put together. There weren't any scenes where I thought the author failed to convince me. You know when we roll our eyes at a decision of the characters or direction of the novel? I never had this problem with this webtoon.3- MC's motivation. All the MC wants is to keep her sister from ending up in a miserable situation, so she tries to "restrict" her sister's ML candidates. It's funny but interesting at the same time, because little by little we see the development of these relationships and how it affects the lives of the sisters;4- The MC itself. The MC breaks out of the stereotypes I'm often seeing in novels/webtoons. I see many protagonists who are airheaded, cold to the extreme or "disinterested". Nothing against it, I love a well-written cliche, but it was a bonus for me that she's different, because she seems more complete. She is spoiled sometimes, but she knows how to stop and consider things, she doesn't just act according to her feelings but she's also not the type of character that ONLY thinks about results and forgets everything else.5- The MLS. Both the sister's and the MC's. It's rare to see a novel where mls are interesting people in their own right. But more than that, what I liked the most was that manipulative gestures don't go unnoticed. Both the MC and her sister don't get carried away and don't "find it cute" when someone acts this way. This is a HUGE differentiator for me, because I've always hated yandere and manipulators. And I think it's about time we stopped thinking "if it's for love, anything goes". In this webtoon ML candidates really care about what the two want, instead of just doing everything to get them. (With two more complex exceptions, but you'll have to read to understand)6- The art is beautiful. And it gets even better, no they didn't change the artist just small improvements that made a difference.  I've said too much, but the point is, its full of cliches but feels different, and the cliches were well written. I highly recommend it. Give it a shot even if you don't like it as much as I do, you probably won't hate or get bored either.
