The Kylo of the first half of the movie was the image Kylo projected. The second half was the (current) real thing.
Kylo may be strong in the force, but he does not understand how to let it speak through him. His power comes not in Anger and Hate, but in Fear. He doesn't "Feel" the force, as much as he "Wants" the force. As a 'Jedi' he was weak-minded, his failures leading to embarrassment and humiliation led him to embrace the dark-side - temporarily increasing his performance. Seduced by the easier path, Kylo WANTS to be a 'Sith', but is not necessarily evil. He tried to prove to himself through killing Han, but instead this will ultimately be what makes him rethink his ideals.
Rey may also be strong in the force, but more importantly has a natural ability to 'feel' the force - throughout the movie, she consistently embraced aggression as a conduit. When faced with the 'enemy', she - like Luke before her - will turn to dark side powers to win. The question will then be - can she resist the temptation, turning her back on her ultimate potential for the "greater good"?
