''Match! Banjun Drama'' (Korean: 대결! 반전드라마), commonly known as ''Banjun Drama'' (Korean: 반전드라마) and later ''Banjun Theater'' (Korean: 반전극장), was a South Korean {{Anthology}} drama series that aired as part of SBS’s variety program Good Sunday. The segment ran from August 8, 2004 to April 16, 2006. Each episode consists of two separate stories, both with (usually multiple) {{PlotTwist}}s (hence the name Banjun, or "twist" drama), competing against each other. Viewers would vote for the story they thought had the most shocking twist, and those who voted for the winning drama could win prizes. In 2006, the segment changed its name to ''Banjun Theater'', and introduced the format of a certain celebrity starring back-to-back in multiple episodes. The segment would play after episodes of the GameShow ''X-Man''.
The segment was known for frequently featuring (at the time) big-name celebrities, varying from rookie actors and veterans returning to TV to [[NonActorVehicle non-actors who had little to no experience]]. Singers such as Jun Jin and Andy from Shinhwa, Danny Ahn from g.o.d, and the group Music/DongBangShinKi, as well as comedians like Yoo Jae-suk and Jeong Jun-ha and actors like Bae Seul-ki and So Yoo-jin all played roles in multiple episodes. Stories can vary widely in theme, but as mentioned before, all have at least one twist that changes an aspect of the plot.

After a hasty turn, he was launched out of his car — he couldn't save his girlfriend, still in the car, in time and had to watch as she burned in front of his eyes. He swears celibacy even three years after the event and still has her on his mind. Matters complicate when he encounters a woman who looks exactly like his lost love.
* OhCrapThereAreFanficsOfUs: Jae-joong's discovery of a romantic fanfic revolving around Yun-ho and him (itself given to him by Yun-ho) is the inciting incident for "Dangerous Love"'s subplot.
