flip side
• another aspect or version of something, esp. its reverse or its unwanted concomitant: virtues are the flip side of vices.
  Comments: 
how about 'flip side'? e.g. gg5's example sentence:
-お前を厳しく叱るのは愛情の裏返しなのだ.　I'm strict with you precisely because I love you.
= The reason I scold you so is that it is the flip side of my love for you.

==

Also adding "opposite/reverse" to match 反対/逆 in daijr and koj
