I can't tell you how many TV shows/movies I've watched where I've sat there completely bored and not believing it because the characters (or actors) had absolutely NO spark or chemistry to me, and yet there were other people who felt the exact opposite and raved on about the connection etc.
Yes, it's not something that's cut and dry. And on tv, there's this tendency to think if you put people together who both have charisma that they will have chemistry as a couple. It doesn't happen that way.

There is something that some people have together, where they share an entire dialogue without speaking and the other person makes you vulnerable or causes you to react in a way that reveals something inside you involuntarily and that's what chemistry is to me. Some people get softer and less guarded around another ("something in you brought out something in me") and it's not exactly a comfortable thing, because sometimes maybe you WANT the guard, the shield. So, being around the other person makes them feel more submissive or exposed or emotional than they want to be. It's very moving.
