Drops of God

When celebrated wine critic Alexandre Léger dies, his estranged daughter Camille learns she inherits an astonishing cellar. Claiming the collection won't be simple, she has to outshine Alexandre's chosen protégé, Issei Tomine, in a series of sensory challenges that blend tasting, intuition, and knowledge. The contest forces Camille and Issei into close rivalry, with judges, secrets from Alexandre's life, and the weight of legacy shaping every tasting. Episodes juggle whodunit energy with detailed wine lore, keeping the focus on character dynamics and the rituals that make wine both personal and competitive.

Released in 2023 and created by Quoc Dang Tran, the series stars Fleur Geffrier as Camille Léger and Tomohisa Yamashita as Issei Tomine, bringing an international cast to a drama rooted in taste and mystery.

The show helped get everyday viewers talking about wine terminology and tasting rituals, and clips of dramatic blind tastings circulated widely online. That online buzz expanded interest in wine-focused storytelling and gave the series a niche cultural footprint beyond typical drama fare.

Critics and audiences responded warmly, reflected in a 7.6/10 average from 116 votes, with praise aimed at the chemistry between the leads and the sensory detail in the tasting scenes. The writing keeps the mystery elements tight while focusing on themes of inheritance, identity, and the meaning of expertise. Pacing varies episode to episode, but the central rivalry and the show's appetite for atmosphere keep viewers engaged.

The series did not win major industry awards, yet it built a dedicated audience that appreciated its hybrid of mystery and specialized subject matter. Its reception suggests potential for continued interest, whether through word of mouth, streaming viewership, or future seasons that expand the emotional stakes around Camille, Issei, and the legacy Alexandre left behind.
