Chinese actor Lin Yi came back with a new drama The Tale of Rose last month, and in a recent promotional video with Viu, he learned a few pick-up lines in Singlish.

The first one was yan dao, meaning handsome guy in Hokkien.

“Oh in reverse, it means the director (dao yan in Mandarin) is very handsome,” the 25-year-old joked.

“I am very yan dao! The director and I are very yan dao.”
