Answer Explanation
The Correct Answer is Detective and director after set of drinks looking surprised? (5,4) Crossword Clue is "ROUND EYED". "Detective and director" refers to the letters "DE" (short for Detective) and "ED" (short for Director). "After set of drinks" suggests that we should look at the letters following a set of drinks, which is "round".
"Looking surprised" hints at the expression "wide-eyed" or "round-eyed", which signifies astonishment or surprise. Putting it together: "Round" refers to the shape of eyes when someone is surprised or astonished. "Eyed" completes the expression, indicating how the person is looking.
So, "Round Eyed" perfectly fits the clue, conveying the idea of someone looking surprised or astonished.
