Reviews

Critics have generally praised A Practical Guide to Being a Superstar's Assistant for its witty writing and strong performances, especially highlighting Sheng Wei Vivi's portrayal of the lead assistant. On IMDb, the show holds a rating of 7.4/10 based on user reviews, with many appreciating its blend of humor and drama. However, some reviewers point out that while the series offers a unique setting, it occasionally falls into predictable tropes common in workplace comedies. Rotten Tomatoes has not listed the show for a critic score, indicating limited mainstream Western coverage, but several Asian entertainment review platforms commend its authentic depiction of the assistant's role in the celebrity world. Metacritic ratings are currently unavailable, reflecting the show's primary appeal being regional rather than global. Overall, viewers looking for a lighthearted, insightful drama about the entertainment industry's behind-the-scenes workings are likely to find it engaging, though those seeking more intense drama might find it somewhat mild.
