Both of these have a dark vibe and deal with similar themes such as demons, possessions, and exorcisms.
Similar vibes. Both suspense thriller.
same more on resolving possessed people and looking towards the root cause.

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.

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^)
It's by the same director and both shows focus on supernatural/exorcisms.
The main antagonist (demon) is also targetting the main characters in both shows. In the case of Metamorphosis, the demon targets a Priest's family; in the case of The Guest, the demon targetted the three main protagonists' families and then he zeroes on one of them (a Shaman).
