Last year, they offered him \u201ca roundtrip business class ticket to Korea by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (to join) a subgroup with people from all over the world. It was great.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rattet became curious about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/browse\/genre\/108662\">Asian shows on Netflix<\/a>in 2017, initially watching Japanese films. \u201cBut I didn\u2019t feel connected,\u201d he says, \u201cso then I tried Chinese, but they reminded me of American TV. Then I found Korean, which were emotionally honest and culturally engaging. The quality of acting, the production, the story, and the music were all spectacular.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt4799574\/\">Oh, My Ghost<\/a>\u2019 was the first one. I was hooked almost immediately. Every time I watched one, I wanted to watch another. I usually describe them as a 16-hour movie, although the length varies. But each story is complete, with an opportunity for character development. I\u2019m closing in on 400 now; I crossed the 300 mark a year ago. That totals 5,600 hours, but I re-watch each one an average of two or three times, which makes it 15,000 hours.

Before becoming a programmer, he was a daily newspaper reporter, a training materials designer, president of a software company in Kentfield, an insurance agent, and founder of a publishing company.<\/p>\n<p>A former hippie who\u2019d overcome childhood polio, Rattet describes his life as \u201cnon-standard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays, only because he can\u2019t watch K-drama 24\/7 on each of 365 days annually, he fills out his retirement by \u201ctaking bicycle rides, cooking on what I call Wok Wednesday, having Friday neighborhood get-togethers in my driveway, going on walks with my wife, and spending an hour every day doing something for my channel. And I go to gym every Saturday with my wife and watch K-drama while exercising. I had a knee replacement a few years ago, but I have no serious illness.
