From the cdrama The Sword and the Brocade. These are the bad guys, but good guys are too busy romancing to play Go it seems.

After finishing the drama, I can say that the scenario made a point to show that the bad guys played Go.
They were two opposing families, and I suspect there were some more cultural differences that I can’t spot, like ancestry etc.
In any case, I haven’t seen another case of “this side and only this one plays Go” before.

I’m reminded of something I read yesterday in the British Go Journal.
BGJ #53 (June 1981) – Letters, pg. 21
Dear Person
During the Middle Ages wei qi (go) was considered in China to be one of the four sublime pastimes, along with calligraphy, painting, and playing the qin (a stringed musical instrument). It seems, however, that such an opinion was not universally shared; eg. Liu Pu, writing about 1000 years ago:
“All things of this world I can generally understand; only I cannot bring myself to be defiled by playing go.”
He was not alone in this opinion. During the Ming dynasty Yang Piao Cheng, having asked himself the moderately fatuous question: which is better, the qin or wei qi? answers as follows:
"The quadruplet calligraphy – painting – qin – wei qi has been used since the time of Hui-Tsung of the Sung dynasty. But in reality the qin is an instrument that embodies Tao, and as such it is entirely different from wei qi. The qin is near to Taoism, it teaches one how to subdue the scheming mind. But for playing wei qi one needs just such a scheming mind. Wei qi experts often suffer from haemoptysis *, and general decline in health, The qin on the other hand drives away sickness … therefore it is quite the opposite of wei qi.
However, as the author was writing what was essentially an instruction manual for the qin, it is just possible that exterior motives were colouring his judgement.
So perhaps we should not be despondent if despite our efforts the BGA membership is not increasing exponentially. Things were just as bad in ancient China.
Yours faithfully, Steve Heavens

I’ve been watching 《甄嬛传》for the past few weeks, which has quite a few Go scenes. I found this one pretty funny though.
So, Noble Lady Hui got cut and wanted to undo her move and play a different one. When Zhen Huan wouldn’t let her, she said she was losing and refused to keep playing. I think I may have seen this happen a time or two. 
Here’s a timestamped link to the scene (Has English subs):

Not entirely on-topic, but interesting nonetheless – some Go sightings in non-fiction books up to 2014.

I saw that movie in a theater and was unable to form an opinion about the quality of play. Looking at it now, I would say that filling the ponnuki shape probably wasn’t the sharpest move to make.
Years ago I watched another film that briefly featured a go scene. The board and stones were gorgeous, but the game position resembled an aerial view of farm country, everything neatly arranged in squares and rectangles. Very amusing.
