Ming Dao has a specific dilemma ever since the Taiwanese movie, “The Pig, The Snake and The Pigeon” was released in mainland China.

The dilemma? Many mainland fans thought that he is the guy who played the role of notorious hitman Chen Kui-lin in the movie instead of the actual star of the movie, Ethan Juan.

After having received lots of compliments for “his solid performance” in the movie, Ming shared his thoughts on the mix-up on social media, writing, “I think I need to explain, what should Xiao Tian do? People have been praising me for my performance in ‘The Pig, The Snake and The Pigeon’. Is there any way you can help explain it?”

Ming explains that he felt embarrassed every time he received such a complimentary message, and just didn’t know how to explain that he was never in the movie.

Netizens took to the comments to share their thoughts on the misunderstanding. While some are saying that the two do not look alike at all, others suggested that they should play brothers in a movie. “You can play the role of a good brother and Ethan can be the violent brother. At the end of the movie, you two will have to face off,” one netizen commented.
