At Dolphin Bay
This drama is about the dolphin bay legend, that when two lovers meet at dolphin bay and a dolphin appears marking their love, no matter how many times they are separated, they will be destined to be with each other. Angela Chang stars as Yi Tian Bian, an orphan who was adopted by her foster mother and lives at dolphin bay. She is a dolphin lover and has never forgotten her childhood friend and lover, Dada (who is actually Xu Zeya) because the two of them had made a pact that Dada will return to find her back. Tian Bian later becomes a new singer of SET and is chosen to sing for SKYWALK, a project by Chung Xiao Gang, the music director who was quite well-known. She is unaware that Xu Zeya, the general manager of SET was actually Dada but when she eventually finds out, he was engaged to Shanni (the engagement was fake at first), the Programme Manager and Music Director Chung had already fallen in love with Tian Bian (Director Chung used to be in love with Shen Man Qing, a very successful singer, known as Asia's Queen). The two destined lovers, Tian Bian and Zeya had been swallowed into this complicated love web and it is only at the end, after Shanni had passed away from leukemia and Tian Bian, having become a successful singer, confesses that she does not love Director Chung at her world tour concert, that the two are finally rejoined when Tian Bian returns from her world tour concert. This is quite a touching drama.

RE: At Dolphin Bay
At the Dolphin Bay is a tale of various expressions of love in certain degrees. Sisterly love between Tien Pien and Shan Ni. Parental love between Tien Pien and her foster mother. Unconditional love betewwn Xu Ce Ya and Tien Pien, as well as Shan Ni and Tien Pien.
For this reason, At the Dolphin Bay does not fail to capture the hearts of its viewers, regardless of age, gender or social class. It transcends these barriers and it is no surprise that this Asian drama did well in the ratings game and reviews.
Its screenplay was also well-written. The build-up from a light to a heavily dramatic scene was done in good taste. The transitions between scenes were smooth and scenes that were cut deliberately were done so to heighten the suspense and emotion. However the lighting was a major flaw. Heavily dramatic scenes should have been treated differently from lighter scenes. Inasmuch as there was too much light on some heavy scenes, the emotions that could have been fully expressed by those scenes were not released. The presence of light usually indicates lightness in theme: joy, satisfaction, resolution.
I was not at all disappointed with the choice of actors. I was surprised, however, that Penny Lin could actually portray a role other than a brat. Her inclusion in the drama turned out to be the biggest surprise and not to mention, one major advantage.
The music was excellent. The songs were properly chosen for the scenes. If lighting was a major upset, the musical score was its one of its biggest - if not certainly the biggest - advantages. Notable were songs like Yi Shi De Mei Hao and Shiroi Yuki, although other songs which were used, especially during the later parts of the drama, were also chosen with utmost care.
Cinematography came in a good second to the musical score. It seemed as if Asians have perfected the art of cinematography, probably influenced by their culture, beliefs and traditions. But in this drama, the background served more than being the take-off point of every action in the story. The backdrop - the sea - was very meaningful. On several occasions, the sea served as a metaphor for hope and even resolution. Most problems were resolved when they were brought near the sea. The treatment of the sea as a backdrop - sometimes as part of the subject - was interestingly figurative. Other interestingly meaningful places were the field of flowers and the Catholic orphanage.
On the whole, At the Dolphin Bay was a good drama. Were it not for the flaws, it could have deserved a higher rating.

RE: At Dolphin Bay
I've had this DVD set for ages and have not watched it....sigh! I will get to it soon. Mind is the special set that comes in a round metal casing 
Probably cause I don't want to watch anything sad at the moment. I'm going for more happy stories now.
The reviews are good, so i think i'll get to watching it soon...
