Interesting space opera set in a solar system where a reunified Korea is the dominant space power. There's a fair amount of action, but it's pretty character-centric. Each of the main POV characters has an internal struggle related to their backstories, trying to understand their current identity and how it fits with their personal history and culture. Found family and queer love are also major themes. Based on the rather abrupt ending, this one appears to be the first of a series, and I'm interested to see where it goes.
