Levelling corner of plaster wall

Hi Guys,

Moved in a while ago and need to address an issue in the kitchen. The wall appears to be plasterboard, but the corner isn't level. It looks like it had/still has some kind of corner tape, I want to cover all of cracks so its smooth and level. and we can finish painting, Whats the best way of going about this?.

Would simple filler be OK or would I need to remove all of the tape, sand it level and repaint?

Pics attached,

Ash

Is this easy enough to do? What's the best way or removing what's currently there?

Do i need to scrape it back level, or near enough and then fix the beading the level it out using the easi fill?

Any tips for keeping it all level?
