Alexandre Léger is the founder of a world-famous red wine guide and an authority on wine. He dies at his home in Tokyo, Japan. He has one child, Camille, but after Alexandre Léger divorced when Camille was 9 years old, he has not seen his daughter. Camille hears about her father's death and goes to Tokyo. There, she waits to hear about her father's will. In his will, he stipulates that if Camille wants to inherit his vast collection of wine, she has to compete against Toomine Issei in a wine-tasting competition. Issei is a wine critic and a former pupil of Alexandre Léger. If she wins the wine-tasting competition against him, Camille will inherit her father's highly sought-after wine collection.

Reviews
Very interesting story
I watched this on Apple TV. It's a multilingual story about wine, making wine, drinking wine, family drama, crazy parents, childhood trauma and overcoming it, and friendships that are developed out of adversity.Yamashita Tomohisa as Issei is his usual stoic, distant, cold self (and that's not a bad thing!). He's fascinating to watch.
Fleur Geffrier as Camille Leger really has to grow on you as a character. She's a mess, but with parents like yours, you can understand why, but by the end I really liked her growth.
Watanabe Makiko as Issei's mother - WOW, what a piece of work! It takes some good acting skill to bring about that kind of hate for a character.
The story was very interesting, and I absolutely loved the ending.
I know this doesn't bother a lot of people, but my enjoyment was REALLY lessened by all the cursing.
Good Enough
" Drops of God " is an international series that focuses on family, wine, and the mysteries of the past that slowly come to light.The drama is quite intriguing, as it peels off slowly, adding more and more clues to the story as the episodes go by.
In addition, the characters were interesting, especially the side characters that supported the leads and complimented them nicely. But the two leads were those that stole the spotlight, as their chemistry truly shone in the final episodes.
On that note, the performances were enjoyable by everyone in the cast.
Finally, the pace was masterfully handled and the ending was satisfying.
So, overall, eight out of ten.
