意思
Expressing that time is passing very quickly, often with a sense of wonder or regret.
文化背景
The 'Pali-pali' (hurry-hurry) culture makes Koreans very sensitive to time. Saying time is fast is often a way to bond over the shared stress or excitement of a fast-paced life. Similar to Korea, the concept of 'Mono no aware' (the pathos of things) is often evoked when talking about the fleeting nature of time, especially during cherry blossom season. In the US, 'Time flies when you're having fun' is the full idiom. Americans often use it to justify why they haven't finished a task or why a social event was successful. While Italy is known for 'Dolce far niente' (the sweetness of doing nothing), modern urban Italians use similar expressions to lament the loss of that slow lifestyle.

Avoid '많이'
Don't say '시간이 많이 빨라요'. It's grammatically okay but sounds like a translation.
