Plot

Hong Daming (Chew Chor Meng) is a positive and generous man. As his coffee shop and house number are both “118”, the people around him gave him the nickname of “118” (or 要要发), much to his delight. Together with his wife, Liu Meimei (Pan Lingling), he makes a living by running the coffee-shop, and are well-known in Tiong Bahru. Whenever someone is in need, they would always seek out Daming for help.

His family lives in a 3-room flat, which was built in pre-war years, above the coffee shop. He has 4 children – 2 of his own, and 2 of his deceased buddy. The children are named Wang Shunfeng (Dennis Chew), Hong Shunshui (Xu Bin), Hong Jinzhi (Ya Hui) and Wang Yuye (Somaline Ang) （顺风顺水，金枝玉叶）- Shunshui and Jinzhi are his own children, while Shunfeng and Yuye are the children of his deceased buddy.

Having 6 people living in a 3-room flat is cramped-up enough, yet he also rents out a room to “Ah Niang”, a middle-aged man whose original name is Li Weiliang (Chen Hanwei). Weiliang studied fashion design in France, but circumstances led him to simply run a stall in 118’s coffee-shop, selling dumplings with the recipe that his mother left for him.

Weiliang was not the only addition to the cramped flat. Later, Meimei’s elder sister – Liu Jiejie (Liu Lingling) – and her family also came to live with 118 when her husband’s business failed. Daming’s own younger sister, Hong Shanshan (Sheila Sim), and her daughter also came to live with him “temporarily” when her husband disappeared mysteriously. Kind-hearted by nature, Daming felt that they must have come to him because they were at their wit’s end. He would rather make room for them by having his own sons sleep in the living room, than to chase them away heartlessly.

As such, the story unfolds with this myriad of personalities living under the same roof and hanging around the 118 coffee-shop, where many dramatic yet comedic events took place…

“118” presents the positive side of a Singaporean – passionate, practical, caring, resilient, faithful, tolerant and forward-looking – while also touching on the lesser side of our personalities. Through the dramatic play of events, we are able to see ourselves in the many characters, who are in fact a mirror of the good and bad sides of all of us.
