Chemistry is something else that I don't understand. I think I logically get it, and I've even used the saying but not sure I understand what most mean.
For me chemistry is not just limited to romance. Chemistry is when two are more people interact in such a way that they seem comfortable with each other, their roles to each other seem natural, and there is a genuine friendship there. Sometimes an actor's acting can seem stiff but it is not necessarily a fault of his acting but because his on screen partner and him do not share that special connection.
For example (I do not know if you have watched this show before) in the Golden Girls all the girls were able to execute their roles so well because they had good on screen chemistry so it really did feel like a genuine group of friends living together and that is what made the show so relatable and the jokes so funny.
Another example (Disney Fans) is the show Jessie. That last episode when Jessie left was so emotional because all these characters had acted together on this show for such many years and created this on screen bound and chemistry that it really did feel like a genuine goodbye. If they did not have this bond then the performance would not have been felt.
As much as I hated how Love Sea turned out the chemistry between FortPeat cannot be denied. When ever they were together on screen it was not awkward or seem as though their interactions were forced, cold, or stiff. I guess for me that is what true chemistry is; no matter the chaos around the couple whenever they are together their interactions pull at your heart strings because a couple is a couple.
Of real couples also have chemistry; when you see a couple in the store and you do not have to guess if they are together, just by seeing how they interact with each other you know.
It is hard to recreate chemistry so when a pair of actors is able to do so they steal the hearts of fans hence why ships work in the BL industry and why fans feel so attached that they think the couple is real.
Anyways this is my two cents.
I enjoyed your morning thoughts lol they made me think.
