Overview

The television series 118 first aired in 2014 and falls under the family and soap genres. The story centers on Hong Daming, who is described as a positive and generous man. Because both his coffee shop and his house number are 118, the people around him gave him the nickname of 118, also known as 要要发, which brings him much delight. He makes a living running the coffee shop alongside his wife, Liu Meimei, and the two are well known in Tiong Bahru. Whenever someone is in need, they consistently seek Daming for help. The family lives above the coffee shop in a three-room flat built in pre-war years. Daming and his wife have four children, whose names are Hong Shunfeng, Hong Shunshui, Hong Jinzhi, and Hong Yuye. A total of six people live together in the three-room flat.
