There was some interesting discussion on facebook -- evidently the commentators (themselves professional Go players, I think) decided Lee played a subpar game. Obviously Lee disagreed, which raises the interesting point that not even really good Go players can always tell what's going on in a match.
I want to think that Lee has an advantage in the meta-game, being able to experiment and try different strategies, but this might be a disadvantage from anther point of view. Now that the second game is decided, Saturday will be a big game. It starts at 13:00 Seoul time; I might stay up to watch starting Friday night at 23:00 New York time.
