Both stories shares a similar story that one can't help noticing a lot of similarities between them, as in the focus on Queen Dangyeong. While it wasn’t mentioned in the manhwa if Goong was written based on Queen Dangyeong, a lot of the details in the story was quite similar with some bit of changes regarding Lee Shin and Lee Yul. Not to mention that both of the main character shared the name Shin Chae-kyeong. Basically, Goong was like a modern alternate retelling of Queen Dangyeong's story with a slightly happier ending.
Both dramas feature a child of King Gwanghae who ended up being abandoned by their father. Both Nokdu and Sookyung ended up finding love with someone who turned out to be survivors of officials who had been executed due to being falsely charged with treason. Both dramas ending up with the abandoned children of King Gwanghae inevitably having a hand in aiding Prince Neungyang to take over the throne from the previous king. While the events playing in both dramas happened differently, it was interesting to see the different portrayals of King Gwanghae and Prince Neungyang and how that affect the story that unfolded.
Both movie and drama are written by the same writer and certainly has the same atmosphere. While Fabricated City tells a story about how the main character was falsely convicted of a crime that he didn't do, the plot afterwards was quite similar in which the main character formed a group and tried to punish the real culprit as a vigilante act. The movie also had a great fight choreography and car action as well as SFX and can give you a brief glimpse of what Taxi Driver has in store.
Both movie and drama gave a lot of emphasis on how 'one false conviction is worse than losing 10 or 100 criminals/true convictions'.

Both dramas involves a serial murder case that remained unsolved for 20 years. And there are few other plots points that are quite similar yet presented differently in Beyond Evil/Tunnel.
The main serial case in both dramas have a lot of similarities, in which it may be based on the same murder case that sparked many different dramas and movies based on it.

Well, both dramas were from the same screenwriter thus you can expect similar style of wit and comedy in the plot. And both drama had a group of people acting and behaving as a part of some mafia-like cartel (with Vincenzo actually was one himself).
And while Vincenzo only just started, I can already find a lot of similarities between the Gootham gang and the Geumga Plaza people. Heck, as much as Hae-il and Vincenzo were quite different from each other, the two of them did share some similar traits in personalities. Not to mention, Gyeongseon and Cha-young were also very similar in personalities and weirdness though profession-wise they're the opposites.

While the two dramas have different plot, the two did share some similarities in the setting as well as overall plot. Both Kangto and Hoon had a tragic past in which their lives took a drastic turn during their childhood, which lead to them taking a path that wasn't quite righteous. And it's due to the sacrifices of their loved ones (Gangto's older brother and Hoon's father) that they ended up trying to change their lives into being a lot more true to themselves. Both Kangto and Hoon inevitably being dragged into a political strife that more or less shaped the lives they ended up in and both also were involved in a tragic love relationship with the girl they loved. Not to mention the fact that in both dramas Jin Seyeon played as both of the protagonists' love interest.
Both are medical themed dramas where the main protagonists attempt to change the stagnant medical world using their own method as doctors of their own rights while not being chained by any rules and refusing to back down to other's pressures. While their main fields of experties are mostly on the medical sides, both Daimon Michiko and Shiratori Keisuke can be quite a detective in unearthing the corruption in the environment they work in and be quite analytical in trying to resolve the obstacles they encountered.
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 dramas had one or more character having the abilities of precognitive dreams and for at least one or more of the characters, the dreams manifested into nightmares.

In Black Knight, it was Sharon who needed to make clothes in order to redeem herself from her past sins. In Handmade Love, Wobeun needed to make clothes for humans so that he could finally be allowed to return to Heaven.
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.
