The Chinese stuff usually assumes you already know the background. The Korean (and occasional Japanese) stuff usually assumes you don't, and gives you more explanatory background material.

Usually. Not always.

If you're just getting started, I'd suggest going with works made by the outsiders. Once you've got a grounding in the basics, then go with the works made by the natives.
