Bought a Korean S4 SHV E300L without my knowledge. Should I keep it?

Hi guys. This is my first post on the forum. With all the buzz around the s7, I hate to bring up the past with something about an s4, but would love your input.

A week ago I bought second-hand what I thought would be a genuine S4. I knew there were fakes of this around to watch out for, but had no idea there were also korean carrier based versions of this. When I got home after purchase, I thought first that I had bought a rip-off, but thankfully it seems to be a real s4 just made for korea. (Still not fully sure it is up to 'international' standards) I have some questions about it, if anyone knows more about these variants.

LG U+ apps are everywhere on it and a lot of stuff is in korean, Is there a stock rom for the E300L that I can flash so it stock kitkat/lollipop with recovery/download mode in english?

In antutu+ it scores above 30+ and everything seems to check out with specs (octacore, 13mp etc) but there's only 22gb of total storage (supposed to be 32 and is in 'about device' but on a PC and cpuz it shows 22gb total.

Is this device inferior any way to the US/International versions? I wish I had researched more on the s4 before buying this but I just lost my phone (nexus 5 :( ) and thought hey I'll get an s4 from somewhere, bound to be good for another year or two :D

Thanks
