I’ve always found chemistry completely subjective. Lots of times beanies gush about a couple’s chemistry while I find none, and vise versa.

So I have come to the conclusion that it is not a set-in-stone observation.
It is just like different people have different impressions on us, it is the same for different actors, not only they have different impressions on us viewers, but also on each other as people. And then these actors go on and have a relationship, any kind of relationship, on screen. Their level of ease, spark, animosity, caution, openness, or any other energy between them, which is in essence their chemistry, will have different impressions on us viewers.

Chemistry isn’t only for romantic couples. Chemistry must exist between every two people in a show to have the best result, and impression, (have I said impression enough already??) on audiences.

To answer your last question, I don’t think it is easy to answer just how.
Sometimes actors just don’t like each other, are uneasy, shy, mentally or even physically unsynched, or they aren’t comfortable with the writer, the director…
Some things just can’t be helped or changed by sheer will. And these energies, basically the chemistry, unconsciously affect the viewers’ perception of them.

Age, experience, naturally friendly or energetic disposition, more openness, things like these all probably help in increasing chemistry. And it can probably be achieved by hard work and practice, but I don’t think it is a simple step, or decision just to take going from this show to their next work.
