Japanese broadcasting company NHK announced on Oct. 22 that its satellite channel BS2 will broadcast `Winter Sonata` no-cut (20 episodes) over 11 days, starting Dec. 20. Episodes that will be aired no-cut via satellite channel will not be dubbed, and Japanese subtitles will be used. When `Winter Sonata` was broadcast by NHK, it was dubbed in Japanese. BS2 will air the series twice a day on weekdays, and once a day on Saturdays and Sundays.

"Each no-cut episode of `Winter Sonata` lasts 63-72 minutes, but we edited the Japanese-dubbed episodes into 60-minute pieces so far.
