Even though this one doesn't have supernatural elements I felt similar vibes; there're mysteries of the past to be untangled, it deals with heavy themes and there're some mind games regarding the reveal of the culprit, the OST makes you equally melancholic... You might give it a go and perhaps enjoy it :)
Why Similar: The Guest blends supernatural elements with a suspenseful narrative, creating an intense atmosphere. The show’s themes of uncovering hidden truths align with the conspiracy elements in Project Y.
Plot: A priest, a detective, and a shaman team up to fight against evil spirits and uncover dark secrets.

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 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.
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.
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....
