Las gotas de Dios

Finally something original... feels... fresh!

Loved the setting in different countries and the concept of multiple languages used at once. Characters fit their role perfectly, the contrast between the Japanese and French (European) culture is very well defined and not overblown.

It's a smart watch, and you can also learn a thing or two about wine. Definitely a must-see for wine lovers, both in theory/academics or just people who enjoy drinking wine.

The romance as a subplot is alright, it doesn't take the main stage and lingers in behind the main story just to spice things up a little...

The tests keep you guessing and you never really know who's gonna win until the last episode at which point it becomes clear rather early in the episode.

After lots of twists and smart intrigue, the ending feels like a nice closure.

I can only hope we get to see more original shows like this one.

Across 3 languages is no easy feat. It is intriguing & the characters you think are wooden but not. Especially if you travel you understand as well as the source material. The Test/ challenge is main thread (securing an incredible inheritance) of the series. Pitted between the deceased's daughter (who does not drink) and a Master Sommelier of Japanese Heritage. It can keep you concern for who will be the winner with out the violence that most films series require in a competition. The cast is not known and that is refreshing as well. It ticks all the boxes for love, food, wine, wealth, family dynamics, betrayal and compassion. It could be considered artsy/ independent because of all of the above. Enjoy.

I wasn't impressed with the trailer but started watching out of curiosity. What a surprise! It's hard to describe, it isn't like anything else.

I've read comments about it being pretentious but i really don't feel that way. Maybe the fact that it's mainly in French and about wine makes some people feel a certain type of way?

The casting is excellent, apart maybe from Camille's mother that feels a bit less credible to me. Fleur Geffrier is wonderful in her part and I'm curious to see how Tomohisa Yamashita's character will develop.

The show also looks really beautiful. Like really beautifully shot and directed. The music score has some very mesmerizing moments too (in episode 2 especially).

So far one of my favorite show this year!

What a strange idea. A psychosomatic issue doesn't allow a woman to drink any alcohol but when her father passes she has to compete in a wine competition for an inheritance. The character work is great, the information about wine is something I had no knowledge of and was really interesting, though I have no idea how accurate it is. I like that it bridges Japanese and French, the production values are great.

The only downside is that it moves sometimes slowly, but there is payoff for that buildup in both character development and plot, so I ended up very happy with it. Apparently it's based off of a manga, which I'm now curious about.

Since the beginning it stars with good momentum that it builds up to the final episodes it's just a really good series , one of the few were it isn't eccentric, one that allows you to enjoy each episode and at the same time leaves you wanting more of it.

The performance of the actors and actresses are really good as well as the production of the series you can also learn some aspects related to wine industry as well as some cultural differences between cultures such as Europeans (Especially French) and Japan.

In terms of the ending of the series I'll believe it's will retain its good value if they don't make a second season of it .
