The POD would be that Crown Prince Munhyo, who in the real world died at the age of four during a measles epidemic in 1786, survives to be a competent ruler. The timeline ends around 1880 as Korea begins to make formal contact with the West, so the posts will generally stay in Korea (it might spread to a declining Qing China, but I'm wary of the worldwide butterflies that would result).

For style, I prefer "history-book" style. I'm fond of Mote's writing in Imperial China: 900-1800 so I'll try to imitate that, but maybe without that much success. Maybe some primary sources (letters, Veritable Records, etc). I'm not going to write any first-person narratives, mind you.

Would there be any interest? It's rare that you see a Korean, or even generally East Asian, timeline around here.
