Good "United Korea" TLs?

I really like to see how would a united Korea, either an empire or kingdom preserved as an independent country in the early 20th century, or as an unified country after 1945.

How would the OTL North and South Koreans behave or interact with each other in a united Korea? How would such a Korea behave on the world stage?

Are there any good TLs in the forum already?
 
If the Pod is after the 1870's, then mostly you'll be dealing with a Communist/Russian controlled after WW2 due to the US being late to Mainland Asia from a longer war with Japan, such as in Decisive Darkness.
 
One interesting option for a united Korea is a no-WWI scenario where the Empire of Japan doesn't have the option to adequately expand into Germany's sphere of influence and attempt to completely dominate China. Rather the country is unable to expand, slows down economically, enters a period of instability, falls to a military dictatorship, economically stagnates further, isolates itself diplomatically and eventually the military junta falls to a pro-democracy movement and an independent Korea rises from the ashes of that collapse.

Or, you could avoid having France fall during WWII. Indeed, if this butterflies away the Japanese conquest of French Indochina, the resulting U.S. embargo against Japan, and the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, then we could see Korea become independent after Japan bankrupts itself in its war in China and succumbs to a revolution at home.
