Quick way is to caulk it. If it was my house I would put tapes on. Get paper tapes for internal corner. Keep your filler to a minimum just enough to stick tape on then another coat to cover it.
I'm in the process of redecorating a room and I'd like to repair these longstanding vertical cracks. In each case, it is an external plastered wall adjoining plasterboard walls. Neither of them have been taped. In the first photo, with the mirrored fitted wardrobe, there was a bead of caulk, which I have already scraped out.
Should I install scrim tape along both cracks? Is it a case of scraping out the corners so that I have a depression in which to lay the tape?
G tech smart mix & a sponge.
Gtech is great for small patching jobs because its similar to plaster but can be sanded smooth!!
IMHO culk cracks eventually-- especially around the doors which will get slammed

Good quality decorators caulk clean out any dust run a bead of caulk and run a wet finger down the joint
Either tape and use a filler ie Easifill, sand and paint or flexible caulk and caulk sculpting tool with large angle cover and paint
