I'm not Korean, but I love the culture and food. I often make the cucumber kimchi with gochujang, but run of it this time, and I had cucumbers and spring onions going bad. This, I think, came out pretty well. I would say it's closer to a salad rather than actual kimchi. I just can't stop eating it. Obviously, it won't be to everyone's taste, I'd recommend playing with the ingredients and adding more or less as you prefer.
