Eileen Manassian Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

My Favorite Star

Ji Chang Wook
I am shook
You appear
Each place I look

Drama space
Handsome face
Acting hero
Hanguk ace*

In Milan
Every fan
Sighs at sight
Of such a man!

Autograph
Heart in half*
Hands combine
A smile or laugh

You're so fine
Clothes sublime
Girls all think
"I'll make him mine!"

"Healer" vibe*
Chang Wook tribe
Every move
Brings crazy hype

Samdal-ri*
You and me
Every girl's
Sweet fantasy

Switzerland
Take my hand
RADO tour*
Pose on demand

How they swoon
song or tune
Voice that melts*
Takes to the moon

Liquid eyes
My demise
Luscious lips
Under disguise

Listen here
Don't come near
If you're caught
Be filled with fear

Squeeze you tight
Treat you right
Korea's star
You're dynamite

Eileen Manassian Ghali

*This is a dedication to my favourite actor, Ji Chang Wook, a versatile Korean actor and singer.  I'll watch almost anything he stars in.

EXPLANATION OF REFERENCES IN POEM:

Hanguk is the Korean name of the country. Koreans make a heart sign on their face with their hands, which is half a heart. "Healer" is a drama he acts in as is "Samdal-ri". He's a brand ambassador for Rado watches. He has an amazing voice and the reference to how it melts is a nod to his  "Melting Me Softly" drama.

I am getting old and very forgetful. hope you are doing well. Eileen Manassian May 3, 2024 at 12:37 AM Life has become difficult for me lately. I'm disillusioned with the world. I wouldn't mind leaving it. That's why I live through story lines of favourite dramas I enjoy. It's an escape mechanism.

Richard Lamoureux May 2, 2024 at 5:50 AM I am not familiar with him but I enjoyed the short punchy lines. He is handsome. Eileen Manassian May 3, 2024 at 12:41 AM He certainly is. His acting is superb. The looks are just a plus. Thanks for dropping by

Paul Callus May 2, 2024 at 1:32 AM This poem is bubbly and mirrors the excitement of bright-eyed fans (age does not matter!) Sorry to disappoint, but can't comment about Ji Chang Wook, never heard of him :) ~ Have a lovely day dear Eileen. // paul Eileen Manassian May 2, 2024 at 5:25 AM You're missing out on a lot! Right now I'm watching "If You Wish Upon Me". It is about a hospice and a group that fulfill the dying wishes of the patients. Ji Chang Wook is a troubled ex-con who has to do community service and he ends going to this place. It is a story about death, love, healing, and the desire to live life to the fullest. Yes, I'm a die hard fan. I have to survive as well. Hugs

Victor Buhagiar May 2, 2024 at 1:12 AM Written in a lively poetic style, this is a great tribute to an actor who unfortunately is unknown to me. Brilliant style. Eileen Manassian May 2, 2024 at 5:26 AM I don't expect many here would know him. Thanks for the return visit. I wish I could meet him one day. He has added so much to my life through his acting.

Ilene Bauer April 30, 2024 at 10:52 AM love the way you've written this, eileen! a very sweet poem... Eileen Manassian May 1, 2024 at 1:37 AM Thank you, dear. Wish that he would get to see it somehow.

Silent One April 30, 2024 at 9:02 AM I can see you infatuation for the actor.. I have seen some K movies and a lot of K dramas but never come across him... I really enjoyed your poem.. Eileen Manassian May 1, 2024 at 1:36 AM K-dramas are where I go to unwind... my happy place, and with all I'm going through lately, I certainly need an escape mechanism. I like the fact that they are not explicit and have great values... for the most part. Ji Chang Wook is phenomenal. Just wanted to pay him tribute in a humorous way. Thank you for your comment.
