O.k. enough spoilers for episode 1, so far with episode 1 it's been a good drama.  One thing that I'm critical of when a drama features a child actor is his acting.  I don't know many dramas that I have watched where the kid can't act for beans (exception: Akashi Ryotarou, the little kid on "For You" and "Brothers") but in this case...the boy is average.  Not as bad let's say comparing to the acting of the little boy on "Second Chance".  Also, I find it kind of humorous to see a story of a conbini manager (especially if it's Hama-chan) and a young boy....and the thing is you see some of Hamada's antics (like when he pushes the boy down)...  The drama does have a humorous appeal to it that makes it interesting to watch.  It's not as serious and it's hard for me to laugh once in awhile when Hamada tries to be serious.  So, if you want a humorous, fun drama to watch for the summer, "Hitoribochi no Kimi ni" will do just that.
