On the fifth episode of the SBS drama "Saimdang: Light's Diary", Saimdang (Lee Young-ae) went to Hanyang.

Saimdang and her sisters were divided of their father's inheritance after he died. Unlike her sisters who wanted her share of the inheritance, Saimdang asked for her father's books. Later, Yool Gok's second son Lee Hyeon-ryong asked his mother why she only made him babysit his brother Lee Woo. "Don't you want me to write better than brother?" His mother replied, "Look after Woo until you find an answer to that question".

Saimdang was getting ready to move when she found some things that reminded her of the time she had with Lee Gyeom (Song Seung-heon). She sent him the Geumkangsan map, but he sent it back to her angrily. Lee Gyeom ran out of his wedding and watched as Saimdang left.

Hwieumdang (Oh Yoon-ah) showed off her drawing skills in a group of mothers of the school children. Prior to the king's visit, a slave accidentally broke a white porcelain and and Hwieumdang's husband Min Chi-hyeong (Choi Cheol-heo) cruelly killed him.

Lee Gyeom also went to Hanyang. He asked Joong-jong (Choi Jong-hwan) to cancel his marriage. Joong-jong said Lee Gyeom had to stay with him in return for cancelling his marriage. Min Chi-hyeong was aware of Lee Gyeom who seemed to be Joong-jong's favorite and had been keeping tabs on him for the last 20 years. Hwieumdang was surprised to hear about Lee Gyeom.

Saimdang came to her Hanyang house and found out her husband Lee Won-soo (Yoon Da-hoon) had vouched for the wrong person and their house had been sold. Saimdang tried to get a new house, but all that was left was a run-down shack. The present day Seo Ji-yoon (Lee Young-ae) was also making extra money by substitute driving, but one day she met a sexual harasser. Han Sang-hyeon (Yang Se-jong) helped her out of it. Seo Ji-yoon came home exhausted and looked at the Portrait of a Beauty and asked, "Why have you appeared in front of me?"

Back in the Joseon times, Lee Gyeom played the Gayageum instead of drawing like Min Chi-hyeong asked. Hiweumdang peeked at him and almost cried in longing but changed faces as soon as Lee Gyeom said, "Nice to meet you". She felt spiteful and recalled the time when Min Chi-hyeong ordered his men to find the owner of the hair ribbon and to kill her.

Saimdang sold the present she got from Lee Gyeom to get money for Lee Woo's medicine. Lee Gyeom found this at the market and drank in pain. He went to see Saimdang.
