Probably easiest to put up bead board. Easier to cut and lighter weight than wallboard.
Have you checked for a water leak? It appears to be at a seam in the ceiling construction, but don't know what would cause the failure. Strip off the tape and see what's happening. If it seems solid, you can re-tape and bed and paint. Best wishes.
Hi, if it`s fairly straight You could put up a faux beam to cover it,
It looks like they had a leak in the past and did a really bad patch job and possibly didn't repair the leak right. Moisture is what usually causes cracks like that. Check before you re do the patch job to make sure that everything up there is dry, if some is moist, you may want to find out where the leak is coming from and make sure it is fixed right this time and replace any wet ceiling area before it fails and causes more problems. Good luck, I had the same thing when my son bought his house in the bathroom, and still don't know where the water is coming from and it has been three years.
Looks like all of that seam needs to be levelled off by removing all of the exposed debris, tape the seam again and put more spackle on to level it out, prime and then paint.
I feel your pain... quite a few of the seams of my walls/ceilings are separating too. Hubby blames "poor workmanship" on it. He may be right... I'm frustrated over it.
