At Eighteen[2] (Korean: 열여덟의 순간; RR: Yeolyeodeolbui sun-gan; lit. Moment of Eighteen) is a 2019 South Korean television series starring Ong Seong-wu, Kim Hyang-gi, Shin Seung-ho and Kang Ki-young. The series marks Ong's first official lead role. It aired from July 22 to September 10, 2019.[1][3]

Synopsis

At Eighteen follows the story of eighteen-year-old Choi Joon-woo (Ong Seong-wu), whose teenage life has been molded by his meager family life and the conflicts he faced in school. Forced to transfer for a violation he did not even commit,[4] he arrives at Cheonbong High School and has decided to be a nobody: a loner just quietly riding out 11th grade. Little did he know the twists and turns and the surprises in store for his eighteen-year-old life.

Soon, the loner inside Joon-woo has to come out of his comfort zone. Not only Joon-woo, but his fellow immature and inexperienced eighteen-year-olds, too, will have to experience conflicts and whirlwinds of emotions and face the prejudices of their world shaped by the adults around them.[5] Together, they have to live their lives to the max and make life-changing decisions. And most of all, they must not forget to cherish every moment of their lives. For all they know, the memories of their eighteenth year of existence might be the sweetest, the most precious, and the most unforgettable.
