Both drama had similar main character types that carried certain roles; in The Guest, Hwapyung was the one with the psychic abilities, Yoon was the one mainly tasked with the exorcism and Kilyoung was the detective that allowed them to investigate crimes commited by the possessed people. In Cheoyong, he was the one taking up the role of a psychic, exorcist and detective with an extra help from a lost ghost and a team of detectives.

Both dramas had the main characters hunting the main evil spirit that was the cause of every incident in the drama. Also, in Cheo Yong season 2, the actor Kim Dongwook who played as Yun Hwapyung in the Guest played a character who ended up being possessed by evil spirits and kill people.

Both are supernatural themed, with trios that consist of an mc with a supernatural ability, a cop, and the righteous third. Both have bromance and are dealing with different stories in each episode.

Very different stuff but both has really good scenes with shamanism and great acting. The Guest is show and Daemuga is movie

Both are mystery thrillers with no romance, interesting visuals, and a great soundtrack. The leads work in different professions and are initially antagonistic towards one another but slowly form a close bond, and they try to solve a mystery involving their pasts. Most of them don't know how to fight and have to trap their enemies instead, though there still are plenty of action scenes. Also, there is an element of revenge in both. The Guest is a supernatural horror story while A League of Nobleman is more magical realism and involves some court politics.

- Deal with similar themes such as demons, possessions, and exorcisms.
- Mysterious and dark (the guest is much darker and serious)
- The Guest is more of a pure horror drama and has a bleaker tone in general.

I think that "The Guest" is the best horror kdrama.

They both deliver same vibe, although their concepts are different they have almost the same storyline, the villain in both dramas is something unknown that possesses other people and make them a monster. Young people who team up against the villain are connected by their parents in past. They're both dark and at some points maybe sickening and also both dramas have the same director so I guess if anyone liked Search, will definitely like The Guest too.

Scenario, music, ambiance, mysticism and curiosity are the same. Other suggested sequences are similar. but the piece that most closely resembles this series is The Guest. For example, crows also same

Supernatural, investigation & friendship. What I love most(like guardian) is the CHEMISTRY & Bromance between the lead. Super strong. Great acting by all actor even the minor role. One house scene remind me of guardian when sw bring yl back home. This drama got an international recognition even a few drama after this reuse the evil spirit name in here.Dont worry, it's not that scary....
