Written by <strong>Tadashi Agi<\/strong> and drawn by <strong>Shu Okimoto<\/strong>, it told the unusual story of a Japanese man forced to become an expert in oenology in order to appropriate his late father&#8217;s vast and expensive wine collection. 19 years later, a series produced by <strong>Apple TV+<\/strong> took up the same story and enjoyed worldwide success. Anecdotal? Yet there&#8217;s a reason why <strong>Drops of God<\/strong> received a 100% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 96% score from users who watched it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>French actress <strong>Fleur Geffrier<\/strong> co-stars with Japanese actor <strong>Tomohisa Yamashita<\/strong> in this eight-episode series. She plays <strong>Camille L\u00e9ger<\/strong>, a young woman who must master and correctly identify the properties of thirteen wines in order to inherit the multi-million euro collection of her recently deceased father. Opposite her, Yamashita plays <strong>Issei Tomine<\/strong>, a renowned young oenologist from Tokyo and the spiritual son of Camille&#8217;s father. The latter has been offered the same opportunity to win these precious wines. The duo engage in a tense duel of the senses, as Camille realizes that she possesses exceptional taste and smell abilities and can rival Issei&#8217;s wine expertise.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3_y2j72Cfe4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The series launched on Apple TV+ on <strong>April 21<\/strong>. In the UK, the <strong>Telegraph<\/strong> review said the series exuded <em>&#8220;strong notes of The Queen&#8217;s Gambit&#8221;<\/em>, the <strong>Netflix series starring Anya Taylor-Joy<\/strong> that made the world of chess sexy and captivating. On the other hand, many Internet users are declaring that this is a wine-lover&#8217;s version of the <strong>Succession<\/strong> series.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Visual adaptation<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The TV concept was born when international co-production specialist <strong>Dynamic<\/strong> acquired the rights to the manga from <strong>Kodansha<\/strong>.
