The series was originally set as a year-long series, but due to its continuous success and consistent top rating, the series was extended for an indefinite time until it finally ended on March 27, 2021, with a total of 20 seasons and 1,054 episodes. Saibi appeared in seasons 10 to 20 during this period.
