Controversy
Malaysia's satellite channelAstro Shuang Xing was to air the show first in Asia, beginning from 11 June 2015, Sundays to Thursdays, as with Mind Game. When aired on 9 July, Our Homeland had to be pulled out temporarily for a week on 16 July due to the discretion of MediaCorp. This caused Taiwan SET's Be With You 2 episodes back-to-back telecast to be pushed forward to 5.00 pm from 16 to 23 July. Our Homeland resumed airing the show on the same day as Singapore from 23 July 2015, Mondays to Fridays. In fact, Astro shouldn't have aired MediaCorp dramas first before Singapore does so beginning with Mind Game, as it did not perform well in Singapore and is also nominated for only one technical award in Star Awards 2016, and that only Super Senior and The Dream Makers II were the only dramas in the planned First Global Premiere to win performance categories.
Awards and Nominations
Super Senior is nominated for 4 nominations in 3 award categories, including one technical award and one voting-based award. Chen Shucheng won the Best Evergreen Artiste Award category.
