Anyways, let’s begin.
So this scene starts off with Li Qin sitting at the edge of a tree, who just requested
the Wolf to be brought to her.
He’s currently their prisoner and is brought in chains.
She tells her guards that after they remove his shackles, they are dismissed because she
would like to talk with him in private.
They both hesitate a bit, until she turns to him and smiles.
She holds his hand and asks him if he blames her.
He hugs her and says how could he, and continues by telling her that he knows she just wants
what's best for him.
But he questions why she has called him here.
She smiles and replies that Yao Ji has finally found the antidote and that today is the day
he can live again.
Darren gets a little suspicious and says that Yao Ji had been searching for the cure for
many years and never found one, how was Li Qin able to find one together with her so
quickly.
He further wonders why she appears so different now and asks what exactly has happened.
She responds by saying that it’s because she’s wearing a wedding dress and was waiting
for the person that she cares about, all that was enough to make any normal girl feel embarrassed.
She had been waiting for a long time to marry him.
He laughs and agrees that he is the one who is abnormal and that he feels very happy.
They say they want to be together with each other forever, and Darren continues by saying
that after he takes the antidote he will go save the fourth prince and return to give
her a grand wedding ceremony.
They will then return to Wolf Mountain and live the rest of their days together.
She starts to cry and we as the audience know why in the coming episode, but when he asks
her she tells him that she just really wants to go back to Wolf Mountain and live happily
ever after.
Darren then says if she really ready to get married, then they should bow to the heavens
to make it official.
He grabs the wine cups and tells her thanks for making him not lonely in this world anymore.
She makes a promise to him that they will never be apart again.
And then... You guys. The music comes on.
When this music comes on in “The Wolf”, you know something’s up.
We heard this back in episode 26 when the Wolf betrays her, and here she is doing the
same thing to him.
She knows probably won’t survive what comes next, and this time she’s the one lying
in order protect him in the same way he had to lie to protect her.
You guys might remember episode 25 when she first put on a wedding gown the day before
she found out he was responsible for her father’s death.
Even though she was very happy at the time, we as the audience and the other characters
knew what was coming up next.
But despite that, Darren still played along just to make her happy.
That scene in episode 25 is a juxtaposition of this final scene, only with the roles reversed.
So the happy couple here finally drink the wine and it’s supposed to be a very happy
occasion for them, but we as the audience know that it’s actually really sad and most
likely the final goodbye.
The cup falls to the ground, probably symbolizing what’s to come.
They embrace for a few last moments, Li Qin cherishing the time they have left before
she decides what has to be done.
She takes out a container with the special lip balm that causes the target to fall asleep.
After she kisses him with it, she tells him that her life feels fulfilled because she
had the Wolf’s love.
She suddenly looks over at some butterflies floating in the background and tells him that
if there’s really a second life, he should continue to watch the butterflies,
so that they can find each other again in the next life.
He starts to wonder what she is talking about, and she reveals the medicine on her lips that
will make him fall asleep soon.
Li Qin tells him her plan to go save the fourth prince by herself and that by the time he
wakes up, the prince will be back with him again.
Even though the Wolf only has half a year left to live, he should try to live it well.
Even though he looks shocked and wants to reply, he is unable to and stumbles to the
ground as the medication takes effect.
And, that’s the end of episode 48.
The next episode is the grand finale of The Wolf, and I’ve been sort of waiting to make
these because I really didn’t want to spoil too much for those of you who have been waiting
for Eng sub.
The last episode is one of the saddest ever, and we get to see Li Qin as Ma Zhai Xing doing
something completely out of character.
When it happened I was sort of in shock, so stay tuned for “The Wolf” Episode 49 Explained,
the grand conclusion of this series.
I’ll leave a link down in the video description below when it’s ready.
I’ve really enjoyed “The Wolf” this year.
The performances from the three main leads have been incredible, and this drama has been
such a pleasantly unexpected surprise since its premiere back in November.
I’m really glad to have all of you join me along for this ride.
Anyways, that’s all I have for you guys today, thanks for watching.
