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

*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 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 Date: 5/2/2024 5:50:00 AM I am not familiar with him but I enjoyed the short punchy lines. He is handsome. Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 5/3/2024 12:41:00 AM He certainly is. His acting is superb. The looks are just a plus. Thanks for dropping by

Paul Callus Date: 5/2/2024 1:32:00 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 Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 5/2/2024 5:25:00 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 Date: 5/2/2024 1:12:00 AM Written in a lively poetic style, this is a great tribute to an actor who unfortunately is unknown to me. Brilliant style. Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 5/2/2024 5:26:00 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 Date: 4/30/2024 10:52:00 AM love the way you've written this, eileen! a very sweet poem... Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 5/1/2024 1:37:00 AM Thank you, dear. Wish that he would get to see it somehow.

Silent One Date: 4/30/2024 9:02:00 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.. Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 5/1/2024 1:36:00 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.
