The video summary translates like this in my browser:

Section 3.1 Special Feature This is a drama series based on a novel by Park Chi-moon. The popularity of Baduk in the 90s was so great that top actors of the time played leading roles. * Actors: Yoo In-chon (Cho Hoon-hyeon), Jeong Bo-seok (Seo Bong-soo), Lee Jae-ryong (Yoo Chang-hyuk), Jeong Jun (Lee Chang-ho), Jeong Seong-mo (Park Chi-moon), Ko So-young
Clearly this is from a time when CGI was perceived to be cool. Instead of using a real Go board for the shots of a flying board or board with stock video as background they have used a low resolution computer graphic.
Maybe this is the Korean wikipedia article:

《Matchmaker》is a special 3.1 drama that aired on MBC from February 28, 1994 to March 1, 1994 . It is Korea's first full-scale Baduk drama and depicts the entire process of Jo Hoon-hyeon , Seo Bong - soo , Lee Chang-ho , and Yoo Chang- hyuk, who are considered the top four players in the Korean Baduk world, taking away the first and second World Cup Eungchang Gi Cup championships, as well as the 100 years of Korean-Japanese Baduk intertwined with the wooden board. This is a work that explores the history of medicine in an interesting way. [1] And, rather than dramatizing a literary work based on an already published original work, it became a hot topic by being produced as a drama by Park Chi-moon, a baduk journalist, even before it was published as a full-length novel.

Plot
