Episode 5
In the middle of the night, San (actor Lee Seo-jin) is almost assassinated by an
assassin but when the assassin is caught, he commits suicide by swallowing a pill
before they can find out who sent him. San tries to get to the bottom of the
assassination attempt but the body of the assassin vanishes and the crime scene is
cleaned up when King Young-jo (actor Lee Sun-jae) appears to see if his grandson
is alive. The king is confounded that he cannot see any signs of an intruder ever
entering San’s chambers.

On the next day, Princess Hwa-wan (actress Sung Hyun-ah) goes to see her
father, King Young-jo, who is full of worries. She tries to soothe his feelings and
brings up last night’s incident. Princess Hwa-wan meets Choi Seok-ju (actor Cho
Gyeong-hwan) at the market and gives him instructions to carry out.

Tired of fending of numerous assassination attempts on his life, San passes by the
royal kitchen and remembers the time when he first met Song-yeon as a young boy.
He meets Nam Sa-cho (actor Maeng Sang-hoon) and asks him to find out the
source of the pill that the assassin swallowed to commit suicide.
