If you combine the two countries a unified Korea would have the best of both worlds.
However the cost of feeding, clothing, providing proper health care, re-education, building infrastructure etc would be enormous, just based on averages if the two Korea's combined you'd have a third world nation for a while.
I think if China took over NK and lets say in a sign of good will shut down their nuclear arms program and put a bullet in that whole family the whole world would rejoice, then they'd wake up and find a fairly aggressive China right up against the South Korean border.
China wouldn't want to take on the problems of North Korea though, they like things pretty much the way it is, a country separating them from a natural entry point into Asia.

I was thinking more along the lines of china Making NK a province and investing heavily in the area, China is the only country that hasn't been demonized by the NK government, and I'm sure china would love 25 million labourers who would work for a fraction of what current Chinese labourers are making. The Jung family would become the head of the province.
