SBS drama "Christmas" sold to Japan ahead of premiere

SBS new TV series "Will It Snow For Christmas?" has been sold to Japan ahead of its premiere in Korea, according to the broadcaster on Friday.

The new drama was sold to Tsutaya, a corporation with the most DVD stores in Japan, SBS Contents Hub said in a press release.

Tsutaya has released many Korean dramas through DVDs in Japan, including hit TV series "I'm Sorry, I Love You" starring So Ji-sub and Lim Soo-jung and "What Happened in Bali" starring Jo In-sung and Ha Ji-won.

The company had most recently purchased the rights to "Minamishineyo", which finished its run yesterday, also ahead of its premiere in Korea.

"Will It Snow For Christmas," starring actors Ko Soo and Han Ye-seul, will be broadcast starting December 2. The drama is set to air in Japan in April next year.
