#4967 For me, the words after その仕事は look garbled. (contributor:

Thanks Miki-san. It should be okay now. (contributor: PaulO)

Yes. It looks ok now. (contributor: Miki)

So what would be the difference between this and 一方で? I noticed that
the latter is used in writing a lot, can this be used in conversation?
(contributor: Grant)

反面 is used in situations where you talk about one attribute and then
another that's most likely be an opposite of the first mentioned attribute.
#4966 is a good example of that.
