Both of these have a dark vibe and deal with similar themes such as demons, possessions, and exorcisms.

Both of them are concerned with shamanism. They have a similar dark and eerie atmosphere, as well as the camaraderie.

The feel is kinda similar.
Also both are quite dark and has a few deaths in them.
There's a male lead that has some kind of power that makes them special and able to fight against the ...whatever's evil.

It's basically the same plot except that The Guest is much better written than Possessed. And it's what people who initially started watching the drama would've hoped to see from the drama before the writer decided to give up on the plot of Possessed.

The Guest is basically the drama that the writer of Possessed would have wished they could replicate in terms of storytelling but failed miserably. In terms of making the antagonist, in this case the main evil spirit/demon, The Guest did it better without making the demon be too overpowered or overly exaggerated. The conclusion of The Guest also was much more satisfying and less depressing than Possessed.

I only thought of guest when i saw their relationship, also 2 men and women trio.
Both are supernatural-themed.
Both male protagonists can see spirits/ghosts and help them.
Both women protagonists are detectives...
But The Guest is more dark, gory

Both dramas have one main lead with shamanic abilities. Religion is also present in both of them even if in a negative vibe in Children of a Lesser God.
The protagonists in both shows have different sets of skills and team together (reluctantly at the beginning) to defeat evil.

Children of a Lesser God is somewhat lighter in tone (having some comedic moments here and there) and the antagonist isn't a demon, but a cult organization. It still does have some creepy and bloody elements and some pretty disturbing scenes of child abuse.
The Guest is more of a pure horror drama and has a bleaker tone in general. The antagonist here is a poweful evil spirit and not just evil human beings.

Overall I found The Guest to be the superior of the two, but Children of a Lesser God is an interesting drama as well and might deserve a watch!

It's a korean thriller drama. Since woh start with a trio, so as the guest & the start of their journey isn't easy but they stay together till the end. Viewer especially feel connected with the 2 male friendship. It feel special & real, we cry.. Trust me, we cry when the time come. They don't need to flirt, it's the opposite. Totally RECOMMEND!!! (^o^)

"The Guest" centers on exorcism and supernatural elements, with characters dealing with demonic possessions and battling dark forces. The plot revolves around three main characters—a psychic, a priest, and a detective—working together to fight an evil spirit known as Sohn, which has left a trail of death and despair. "Judge from the Hell" also explores the supernatural realm, with characters confronting twisted souls and dealing with dark forces. While it focuses more on moral judgment from a supernatural judge figure, it still brings forth themes of vengeance, punishment, and the afterlife.

Both series revolve around the concepts of justice and retribution, especially in terms of punishing wrongdoers. In "Judge from the Hell," the plot implies a supernatural judge presiding over earthly wrongdoers, judging them for their sins. In "The Guest," the idea of justice is more rooted in combating evil and seeking revenge against dark forces, but the theme of justice through unconventional means is still central to the story.

Both series employ a dark, suspenseful tone that keeps the audience on edge. "The Guest" utilizes horror elements and psychological suspense, with frequent intense scenes involving exorcisms and violent confrontations with possessed individuals. "Judge from the Hell" also embraces a dark tone, focusing on the moral ambiguities of punishment and possibly psychological horror, given its judgment-themed supernatural setting.

" The Guest" addresses human sins indirectly through the impact of possession and the demonic influence on people’s darkest tendencies.
"Judge from the Hell" seems to take a direct approach by addressing human sins through a supernatural judge's verdicts, reflecting a similar focus on moral consequences.
