800 is a very good drama.

It never actually shifted — only the rumors did. There's nothing unusual for a Xu Kai drama to take 12 to 14 mos. to air (mid Q3/early Q4)

this drama is approaching two years since it wrapped

Chronic stress rarely acts as the sole cause of illness, but it is a massive catalyst and accelerator for disease. Research shows 75% to 90% of primary care visits are linked to stress.

Bai Lu used acupuncture and ancient Chinese herbal medicine recently because Western medicine "take a pill" didn't help her headaches but the acupuncture cured her

Google: "Clinicians no longer use the terms "split personality" or "multiple personality disorder." The condition was officially renamed Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) by the American Psychiatric Association in 1994. Furthermore, psychiatric consensus states that the core structural fragmentation of DID forms exclusively during early childhood, typically before the ages of 6 to 9, because an adult's fully integrated identity cannot "un-fuse" into separate personality states when facing new trauma."

well at least 1 stars on Douban have declined from 50% to 20%. so there is hope it will be in the 6 range not 5 range.

this drama shows that no matter how strong you think you are, how invincible you think you are, you can break down too

early on, he said she could go free but that was before they consummated their marriage
she could still leave him and go back to the mountain without a divorce

Many famous figures were said to have gone white overnight
Marie Antoinette before her execution
Thomas More before execution
Sir Isaac Newton after intense alchemical experiments
The poet Charles I before his beheading

its myth based on real biological conditions
I know my sister said she was under stress, her hair literally fell out, she wore wig until it grew back.

to me, it's not doubt but shock, it's like a defense mechanism
there was another drama too that audience kept blaming the FL for blaming the ML and to me, that historical/political romance drama showed mental health too but not as the primary story like here and not as extreme case, though it showed several cases of mental health in a few characters; in fact it was done well, how the ML eventually helped her out of her depression even though he didn't accept her reasons, he loved her and needed her to get well, even if she was wrong to blame him, but the audience hates the FL for blaming the ML, so you can't always please the audience

he told me it was so real, like he could touch her. it was the way he expressed it to me, i never forgot how he told me. and this guy is a doctor himself. it's scary isn't it how people can actually hallucinate to that point that it's real to them

hallucination is real. I once met a man who lost his wife in a fire, and he told me later he actually could see her coming towards him.

the blood vomit is based on something real, so it's done to convey that. Ancient Chinese medicine was very advanced. They understood body really well. It's not that it's overdone, its's intentional to make a point about how the body reacts, like in Unveil:Jadewind, I think the ML even cough blood from being overly stressed. I looked it up once before. I don't' remember now.

She treated him incredibly well, so when he found out it wasn’t genuine, he reacted strongly.

I always thought in those days, men don't have to divorce, just ignore the first wive and take a second and third one.

BCE looks to be her last supporting role. She's 88. Glad Xu Kai got to work with her because he has such a great connection with veterans. Their chemistry was amazing because they both had the same grace, elegance and charm that fit the roles. and came across like real life relatives. Their scenes were really good. Grandma really loved YZM. Grandma Mai understood YZM so well, even when she didn't trust him, she knew his heart (unlike the father in Eight Hundred). Unfortunately, she died, but YZM finally realized what she was trying to teach him.

I found in the comments Xu Kai and Grandma exchanges:
Wu Yanshu

it's no longer called split personality the new clinical term is DID

another China hater " living UNDER AN OPRESSIVE AND - YOU HAVE NO WORD - SYSTEM, " I'm okay they hate the system, but don't hate the Chinese people
there was another user here earlier who was ranting about how Chinese people all need glasses and are stupid with no understanding of Chinese culture. Honestly, if they hate China and Chinese people why do they bother to watch Chinese dramas?

this couple was not truly married at the beginning, only a formality a strategic alliance, that's why it took them a while to get use to each other. he even told her she can leave a few times.
