1) the idea is good: I mean the story itself is really good and in the first episode it began really strong and with that mystery that hooked me up since the beginning, but since episode 2 and so on, it became a little weak, and not that well executed to me... it somehow lacked the mystery of the 1st episode and the story lost emotion... That's why I think that it is a good idea, it's a good story, but how they told the story wasn't that awesome.
2) Photography was Daebak!: That's what I loved the most about this drama, it was extremely well executed in that aspect, the camera work, the colors, the feeling that the visual aspect gives, was great.
3)Acting: Well I must say that Changmin did a really good job and to me was almost flawless, but Ga Young didn't do such a great acting, I mean it wasn't a bad one, but it wasn't that good. It just felt a little fake sometimes. But in general her and everybody else's acting was good.
4) Music: I loved the music used in this drama, each song fit so well with the entire feeling of the drama in general.

The young Moon Ga Young is totally adorable as Mimi. Chang Min does well as the really cute and tormented Min Woo. No amount of good acting could make this short drama good though.
The music is pretty good.
I won't rewatch this, but I think it is rewatchable considering it is only 4 episodes.
It is only 4 hours of your time and you may like it more than me. However, I don't necessarily recommend it.

The soundtrack is excellent and matches the moods of the story well. There are of course ballads but I especially liked the instrumental bits that reminded me of Joe Hisaishi at times.
The acting is not half bad. Moon Ga Young especially impressed me, she has matured quite a bit since I saw her in Heartstrings.
The best part for me is how visually aesthetic this drama is. Every scene drew me in and uses scenery and setting to communicate a lot.
Not too long, not too short, bittersweet in a perfect melding of happiness and heartbreak, this is perfect for a rainy afternoon. Mimi is going right next to Pride and Prejudice on my list of things to watch when I'm sick in bed and just want to relax in front of some lovely cinematography with a majestic soundtrack and touching dialogue.

In my opinion it is just that you have to be a little bit in the mood to watch it, and not hoping for something too happy.
It is a dramatic drama, and the main topic is not the girl; "is she died or is she still alive?" is not the main question, the main question is "what happened to HIM? how will HIM fight the situation?"
That's all.
I think people misunderstands since the plot is full of mistery, so they focus on the wrong elements.
The story is nothing much, just a lack of memory and then the main guy who can remember again. It is good because is filled with mistery, good characters and places (the Lupin thing is just "OMG this place and this thing is so good!"). It is enjoyable but I have to say to me it is more like an introspective view in the difficult life of someone who is living without knowing an important part of himself.
Speaking of the casting, I liked it.
I remember Changmin in Paradise Ranch, and I have to say he improved a lot. In this drama he was very "pokerface", but it was so much in his character. His expression, even though it was the same all the time, was full of feelings. When he cried I felt like crying too.
He wasn't fake at all. He was just in his character.
The same thing for Mimi. The actress made a good job with her character, because from the beginning till the end you could see the differences between them and the importance of her personality in his life.
A thing I liked but not so much, was the music. Even though it was good, it wasn't the best for the drama.
But it is only my opinion.
Overall, I think it is a good drama, good to watch if you feel like "oh, I have nothing to do and I am in the mood for something depressing."

Or your soul ??????????????????? Luv you Ga-Young , this is her first main lead........ I'm watching this show after I saw True Beauty!!!! Her acting is great ... Though it was her first main lead so in some point it was lacking behind!!!! But still for her , I liked the show, and yes ......... She was the only one who made the drama amazing...... She's very great in playing sad roles....... And she's our rom-com queen ?...... Luv you Mimi ? @kayoung

I was curious about Shim Changmin's acting and wasn't disappointed. He looks so young and his character is very endearing, if a little gloomy, so the experience of watching him in a drama was nice. The lead actress,
Moon Ga Young, was perfectly cast, too. The age difference between them didn't bother me because it makes sense for the story, and Changmin's characterization as a high schooler was perfectly believable. He really did look 15 years old.
There isn't much to the plot, though. The 4 episodes are fairly repetitive and there aren't many plot twists, so you can easily guess where the story is going. The music is nice, the leads have chemistry, and the episodes were well produced. If you aren't looking for a drama that's more complicated and happy, then this drama should be fine. It's not remarkable, but I didn't think it was bad at all.
