[Lee E-dam's Jewelry Box] Unpretentious Simplicity, 'Can This Love Be Translated?' 'The Art of Sarah' 'Pavane' Lee E-dam

I am curious about people. Even if they are already recognized actors, today might be the day they are least famous. 'Lee E-dam's Jewelry Box' introduces actors who are continuously reaching new heights. Invest in 'rising stars' at their low points.
The actor that Netflix hurriedly included in the jewelry box. And 〈Can This Love Be Translated. 〉 〈The Art of Sarah〉 〈Pavane〉 have been released one after another, and everyone has included their own actors in their jewelry boxes. That actor is none other than Lee E-dam.
